2.5 gallons when I put it in the calculator it said the IBUs were fine. They were fairly low AA Saaz hops too, around 2.2% I believe. Anyway it tastes great, not noticeably hoppy at all.
so I finally had acouple bottles of this recently and it turned out fantastic, possibly the best I've made yet, though I do tend to think that about most beers I make. I used the 3 oz of Saaz with around 2.5 oz for 60 min and .5 oz for 45 min. The yeast I used was Wyeast Weihenstephaner.
aw the ol' euro sampler. I got one of those last year, disapointing to see they dropped it down to an 18 pack, it was 24 last year. Be sure to save the Tyskie bottles the lables come off soooo easily. I soaked them in water and the labels all kinda fell off by themselves. I wish all...
I didn't get a chance to hit my LHBS today and i'm busy tomorrow. I'll have to pick up the ingrediants and probably cook it up on sunday. Thanks for the advice everyone.

.5 oz Brewer's Gold: (8.5% AA, 60 min)
.5 oz Tradition (5% AA, 45 min)
.5 oz Tradition (5% AA, 15 min)
and does the malt look good?
checking online they (northern brewer) appear to indeed be completely out of hallertau. Weizens don't tend to have a lot of hops, using the calculator thing the IBU was pretty in the middle for the style. Maybe I should add more, this is my first attempt at making a recipe. Before now I've...
I've been wanting to make a weizenbock for awhile and heres a recipe i kinda threw together after looking around at recipes online:
7 lbs wheat DME
2 lbs Wheat malt german dark wheat
1 lb munich
.5 lb Crystal malt 70-80 L
1 oz german tratition hop pellets
I'd use hallertau hops but...
I'm thinking about trying this recipe for a weizenbock http://***********/recipe/714.html, but it appears to be for a full 5 gallon boil. I don't have the stuff to do a full boil. What adjustments should I make to do a partial boil?
