Started my first batch of wheat beer. I read a lot and made sure I got the cleanliness part down first.
So this is what I did tell me your thoughts..... 5 gallon batch
Brought water to 150 removed from heat.
Added Muntons plain wheat dry malt 6.5lbs brought to boil
Added 2/3 of my Cascade leaf hops - total 2oz
Added .5 oz of lemon peel
Let that boil for 50 minutes
Took off heat and added remainder of hops and lemon peel and covered for 10 minutes.
I then set it outside in the snow to cool to under 100degrees
Strained the hops and put into fermenting bucket.
I then added 11.5g of Safale US-05 dry ale yeast
I started this on Saturday and it is seems to be well going well. Lots of bubbles coming through the air-lock. It does smell rather "hoppy" but I am hoping it will be drinkable. Any suggestions for future? Or current?
