A friend of mine wants to try brewing beer, and has asked me for a simple recipe to get started. I'm thinking an extract hefeweizen with one 60 minute hop addition. Cloudiness is be expected, so no frustration with hazy beer. Also, less concern with fermenting temperature considering the summer heat.
I'm thinking partial boil, enough wheat DME for 5% ABV (2/3 late addition), hallertauer hops @ 60 to 18 ibu, and WB06 yeast. Could also include a 10 minute hop addition so its not 60 minutes of just watching a pot boil. What do you guys think? Any other recommendations?
