Because failure of my beam scale I completely missed proportions and quantity of malts for American Wheat Beer. Unfortunately, I realized that when the mash was already over.
To save beer, I added a larger amount of table sugar (40% of grain bill) and BE-134 yeast instead of US-05, to get a higher attenuation and higher ABV.
Instead of 5.5% I got beer with 4.1%, but the beer is very good. Very tasty and very clean. A real session beer.
In several previous beers I placed a larger amount of simple sugar, but never more than 20%. Honestly, I did not know what to expect of beer with 40% simple sugar and I was pretty surprised that it turned out so good.
Perhaps I have broken one of the many myths about beer brewing.
