Alright, I picked up some LME for an extract hefeweizen recipe. Apparently, it seems that not using steeping grains is common for extract hefe recipes- it's all I've seen. All I've seen on this forum were AG hefe recipes. Anyway, I got my extract and hops and completely forgot my yeast. From what I've heard, wheat yeast is pretty important in brewing hefes. However, I'm impatient and want to brew asap and won't be able to make to my LHBS for a few more days. I've got some spare Nottingham's and Munton's (and a WL British Ale Yeast!). Would you recommend holding out until I got the correct liquid yeast?
Also, I'm still open to feedback. It's just Wheat LME and 1 oz hallertau. The extract was pre-bucketed from a kit (I think 6 lbs?). Sound good? Any recommendations? Seems super basic and I've gotten used to using steeping grains- makes me feel like I'm brewing something more authentic, but maybe it's just the way it is. I've never brewed a hefe. Recipe suggestions would be great too. I'd appreciate any feedback. Thanks.
