Hefeweizen grain bill for a hazy IPA?

[ninkwood]

I brewed a Hefeweizen recently that looks more like a hazy IPA to me and I wondered what a ~50/50 wheat malt & pilsner hazy would be like? Has anyone tried this before?

Well, the cloudy/hazy appearance are coming from two separate things in each style. Using 50/50 wheat and pilsner malt in an IPA won't make it hazy on it's own. You would need the hopping practices, yeast and water chemistry to make it work.

Hefe's, given enough time, will drop clear fairly easily.

Yeah that's a really good point!

Yeah that's a really good point!

That said - brew it up! Let us know if you do!

Man if only I had the time to brew 1/10th of the beers I want to make...
