Hi,
I have been extract brewing Ale's and I would like to try a Hefeweizen.
Here is a recipe I found from the local HBS and I would appreciate any thoughts on this.
Hefeweizen
7# wheat malt extract
1 1/2 oz Liberty (3.8%) 60 min
1/2 oz Liberty 5 min
Ferment with W.L. German or American Hefeweizen yeast
I am thinking about a Whilelabs WLP320
WLP320 American Hefeweizen Ale Yeast
This yeast is used to produce the Oregon style American Hefeweizen. Unlike WLP300, this yeast produces a very slight amount of the banana and clove notes. It produces some sulfur, but is otherwise a clean fermenting yeast, which does not flocculate well, producing a cloudy beer.
Attenuation: 70-75%
Flocculation: Low
Optimum Fermentation Temperature: 65-69°F
Alcohol Tolerance: Medium
