First Extact HefeWeizen

[Cregar]

Creating my first recipe and was wonder what hops you guys would suggest. I'm trying to stay close to a true German HefeWeizen.

Thanks

I use Hallertau and variants for my hefeweizens.

You want something mild in AA content. I use very little if any hops for flavor, and none for aroma.

If you're using over 6 lbs of extract malt I would use the 1 oz of Hallertau after the boil and no aroma hops...1 oz will leave it on the sweet side.
