I just brewed up a 5 gal batch of extract Hefe Weizen yesterday. I was expecting an OG of about 1.045 but I actually got 1.056. My recipe is as follows.
6lb Muntons Wheat DME
12oz Muntons Extra Light DME
3AAU Hallertau hops @60 min
1L starter Wyeast 3068
Boil 60 min.
The recipe is based on some I found online, my expected OG was also based on what those recipes said. For future reference how do you estimate your OG based on your list of extract ingredients?
Thanks, Rich.
