Good Heff Recipe

[rock3ralex]

Can anyone suggest a good heff recipe ?

I am also looking for a good Heff to brew. I plan on reusing the yeast from a dunkel I have in the fermenter now. I've got my eye on this award winning recipe, but can't say if it's good or not. I'll probably end up trying it. Check it out (#7)

look up the "simple hefeweizen" recipe in the recipe section here. I brewed it pretty much as stated, and it turned out delicious! Ferment around 68°F with wyeast 3068. Pretty close to a true Hefe in flavor...and MUCH cheaper than buying German Hefe here ($3-4/pint at the beer store). I think I bottled after 2-3 weeks, and was drinking after 2 weeks in bottle.

the best hef's are the simple ones IMO, let the yeas shine through.


1 oz Hallertau or Tettnanger
6 lbs wheat DME
Wyeast 3068 (WLP300)

ferment at about 68 degrees and voila

Makes since. You may have changed my mind on what I will brew now.

for a Hefe simplicity is the truth! Great style, almost everyone enjoys it, easy to make is light on the wallet...Safe Brew W06 is also a great choice for yeast and cheaper than liquid yeast.

and if you wash it then you save even more. I'm still on the same vial of wlp 300 that I bought last year

thats wild, i have yet to reuse yeast, but thats another thing i enjoy about homebrewing, the economics of it all.
