I'd like to try to brew my first wheat beer on saturday. I'm shooting for something like Boulevard Wheat except I want more of a citris hop characteristic, but not overpowering. Here's a recipe I made on BeerSmith:
6.50 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 68.42 %
3.00 lb White Wheat Malt (2.4 SRM) Grain 31.58 %
0.25 oz Nugget [13.00 %] (60 min) Hops 12.0 IBU
0.50 oz Cascade [5.50 %] (30 min) Hops 7.8 IBU
0.50 oz Cascade [5.50 %] (5 min) Hops 2.0 IBU
1 Pkgs Belgian Wheat (Brewtek #CL-0900) Yeast-Wheat
Est Original Gravity: 1.050 SG
Est Final Gravity: 1.013 SG
Estimated Alcohol by Vol: 4.79 %
Bitterness: 21.7 IBU
Est Color: 3.9 SRM
Total Grain Weight: 9.50 lb
Sparge Water: 3.05 gal Grain Temperature: 72.0 F
Sparge Temperature: 168.0 F TunTemperature: 72.0 F
Adjust Temp for Equipment: TRUE Mash PH: 5.4 PH
My Mash Step Time Name Description Step Temp
60 min Single Add 19.00 qt of water at 162.4 F 152.0 F
What are your opinions of this recipe? How about the mash? Should this be a multi-step infusion?
