I just recently made a wheat beer with the standard partial extract procedure. It sat in primary for two weeks and has been bottle conditioning with Brewers Best carb tabs for three weeks.
The result, fizzy carbonated ditch water with zero head. I mean NONE. Hell, my hard apple cider has more head than this.
The taste is "OK" to say the least, but tastes more like a standard beer than a wheat one. I haven't really enjoyed it since I'm not to fond on drinking infected brew (if that's the case).
Also, I had one bottle explode on me (also a first for me) but that may have been due to a bottle defect since the others have had no issues and pop open fine.
I used:
1lb specialty grains steeped for 20m.
3lb wheat DME.
3.3 lb Bavarian Wheat LME.
1oz Hallertau hops for 30m.
Safale American Wheat yeast.
I have a new Dunkelweiss brewing now and hope this one turns out better.
If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it. I searched the forums and sat hunched over with candles like a 13th century monk studying my John Palmer brew bible, and could only find over carb issues and gusher infections, but It's not a gusher infection, since there's nothing to gush unfortunately.
Thanks!
