I think for my 5th beer I'll try a wheat beer... are all the steps/equipment/etc. going to be the same?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Just don't make the mistake I made. I did a wheat beer for my second brew and went cheap and used dry yeast (coopers I think). Make sure you're using a Hefeweisen yeast. 3/4 of what makes a wheat beer a wheat beer is the yeast that you use. It's worth the few extra bucks.

WB-06 can make some tasty beer, I made one of my best Hefe's ever using it.
And I second the blowoff tube recommendation. The first dunkelweisen that I made blew the lid off of the ale pail. SWMBO was not pleased with the yeast and wort on the walls.
Maybe I misrepresented myself there. I used a non-hefe yeast because it came with the kit and I was being cheap. Make sure to use a Hefe yeast.
