I decided to get a bit creative this weekend and go for a nice hefe before the weather starts to warm up. I wanted a nice crisp wheat beer with a subtle apricot nose/flavor. I also want to have some of the honey flavor still left behind so I don't plan to boil the honey prior to adding it to the primary once primary fermentation has wrapped up. I have finally gotten brave enough to stray outside of the kit recipes. This is my first attempt at putting something together myself so I am very open to constructive criticism. Thanks!
