Just brewed this again last Sunday. Had a boil off issue and ended up with a OG of 1.064. Recipe was:
8 lbs American white wheat
2.5 lbs German Pilsner
3 lbs German Vienna
I decided to drop the melanoidin, as it was such a small amount and made the beer darker, which I am trying to avoid. I didn't aerate the wort at all, not even shaking bucket. Pitched 3/4 of recommended yeast count(Yeastcalc.com). Pitched at 65F and let raise to 68F where nearly all the fermentation has been taking place. Crazy blow-off for 2 days, moreso than when fermented at 64-65F. Hydro sample today at 1.018 was super fruity and sweet. Hope it dries out.
