First All Grain Bavarian Hefeweizen on tap!

What's Red Wheat. Who makes that?

Cargill does, I think Weyermann does too. It's what Austin Home Brew sells.

I'm guessing any German Wheat Malt will be fine. My next one will be with wheat malt from Canada Malt.

No, Weyermann doesn't make a red wheat. It might be of a color that is between pale and dark wheat. One could also add some CaraMunich or Munich to get some red hue into the beer.

I looked it up and Red Wheat and White Wheat have the same color rating.

It's just wheat malt.

The red wheat threw my HBS for a loop too. They only had "german wheat".

BTW, I sampled a pull from this 3 days onto the tap/co2 last night. Still relatively flat but couldn't help to have 2 samples it was so tasty. My hefe interest is renewed as this is by far the best (tapped) I've had since I left Milwaukee. I'm making this again after my IPA as it's not going to last long.

I used Durst Wheat for mine. I've never come across red wheat either.

Cool! It's a great beer. I'm getting low on the keg, so I'll have to get my last bottle of yeast propagated which will give me 8 batches on one vial. That and my bulk malt and hops will bring my batch price down to $6.20 a batch. Here's the breakdown.

$3.22 for 7# Wheat Malt
$1.64 for 4# Pils Malt
$0.53 for 1 oz. Hallertau Hops
$0.81 for Wyeast 3068 (1 pack split 8 ways)
=================================
$6.20 Total for 5 gallons of Wonderful Bavarain Hefeweizen.

That's just over 11 cents per 12 oz. serving.
