Ok, So I'm brewing a Midwest kit called Hank's Hefe weizen tomorrow. I ordered it with Weihenstephan Weizen Wyeast Propagator 3068 and made a starter for that last night. I'll be doing a 2.5 gal partial boil.
The ingredients for the kit are:
6 lbs wheat LME
1 lb light DME
8 oz carapils grains
1 oz traditional german hops
My question is if anyone knows any ways to improve this recipe(anything to add to it) or just any general advice for brewing a hefe weizen. I've search and I know that I should use a blowoff tube, that if I want more banana flavor I should ferment higher than if I want cloves, and I know it should be drank young(I'm definitely fine with that).
Thanks.
