Hey guys! I have decided that the next brew that I make will be a wheat beer of variety. I will proceed to generalize what I want, and I what I do not want from this brew.
Do Want in order of importance:
-Must Contain large portion wheat, may also contain other 'non base malt grains'
-Super Nutty/Malty Flavor
-Moderate spiciness (think like hoe-garden, but stronger)
-Light to Dark Gold Color
-Overall Refreshing to drink, but not to light.
-Medium Mouth-feel and body
-(4.5-6.5) ABV
Do Not Want:
-Not concerned with fitting into a certain style
-Uber Citrus or fruity flavor
-light mouth-feel
-thick heavy mouth feel like with a German stout, it needs to be very drinkable
What I have thought of:
-5lbs Crisp Marris Otter
-4lbs Weyerman Dark Wheat
-2lbs Weyerman Rye Malt
-1lbs Biscuit Malt
-1oz Challanger at 60 min
-1oz Challanger at 15 min
-SRM: 9.73
-OG: 1.065
-FG: 1.016
-ABV: 6.42
-IBU: 34.1
White Labs Heffe IV: "Large clove and phenolic aroma and flavor, with minimal banana. Refreshing citrus and apricot notes. Crisp, drinkable hefeweizen. Less flocculent than WLP300, and sulfur production is higher. "
So what do you guys think? Any advice or suggestions, am I on the right track? Do you think that this kind of beer would really be tasty, or do you have any suggestions that could pull me in a more tasty direction?
Thanks guys!
