I'll be doing my second brew day tomorrow and will be brewing a Bavarian Hefeweizen extract kit.
The kit has the following ingredients:
1. 2 cans of 3.3 lbs of Muntons LME Wheat
2. Safbrew WB-06 Yeast 11.5 g
3. 2 bags of Liberty Hop Pellets at 1 ounce each
BG 1.045 to 1.049
FG 1.008 to 1.012
Hop Bittering Units: 5
I'm not going to follow some of the directions, but wanted to let you guys look at my plan for tomorrow so I can see if I have any errors ahead of time.
Full Boil: 5 gallons
1. Will add first can of LME and 1 oz of Liberty hops after boil and removing from heat.
2. Bring back to boil for 30 minutes
3. Remove from heat again and add second can of LME and 2nd bag of 1 oz Liberty hops.
4. Return to boil for 15 minutes.
5. Remove from heat and cool to below 75 degrees.
6. Then take hydrometer reading after cooling.
7. Pitch rehydrated yeast after transferring to primary.
8. I'll then aerate my wort by shaking my primary.
9. Let sit in primary for three weeks before taking readings.
My only issue is the LME and hop additions. I'm kinda following the directions for those and I want to make sure I get those right.
