So I tried a Hefeweisen kit recently, and since I'm always trying to make life more complicated I decided to try to up the abv on the finished product by throwing in some more DME. what I brewed looked like this:
6.6# Muntons Wheat LME
1# Muntons Wheat DME
1# Muntons Extra Light DME
2 oz Liberty dried hops
1/2 tsp Irish moss
Fermentis Safbrew WB-06
Added 3.3# LME and 10z hops, boil 30 min
Added DME, LME, 10z hops, boil 10 min
added Irish moss, boiled 10 min.
Brought to 5 gal. in pail and water bath to 84*F
Pitched yeast, and fermented in ambient temp of 64*F (it's gurggling happily now)
Hop and boil schedules from kit directions.
My question is, most of the extract recipes for a wiezenbock seem to include specailty grains in the boil,. How flat tasting, or lifeless will this brew be. What would you have done differently? What should I change in the future if trying this again?
Ps, sorry if this is the wrong forum for this sort of thing, I'm still trying to figure out where to post different questions.
