Help designing a Paulaner Hefe.

[s2cmpugh]

Good day everyone. I found two different receipes on here for a Paulaner Hefe. clone which look pretty decent, but I wanted to maybe put my own twist on it a bit. First one: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f70/paulaner-style-hefe-weizen-32811/ and second one: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f70/paulaner-hefe-weizen-clone-196561/.

My idea was to use WLP300 as the yeast, 7 oz. Wheat ( Light) German/ Weyerman® as the specialty grains, and then 6lbs. of wheat DME.

Does this sound OK and will it come out somewhat close to Paulaner Hefe?

Thanks!

I didn't look at your links, but the recipe I have has a WLP380 as the yeast, and a fermentation temp at 68, and from what I understand it's pretty important to the flavor. I've never made the clone, but that's what I'll assume you need to do (it's from BYO).

You would probably have a lot better luck posting in the wheat and rye sub-forum since that is where the wheat experts are. I thought all hefe's had to have some malt extract but it looks like the recipe you are proposing is 100% wheat malt extract. That might be fine but to tell you the truth I know nothing about brewing wheat beer and probably never will Anyway, good luck and let us know how it comes out.

Put this post in the ingredients forum. The sub-forum for wheats seems to be meant for recipes only.

Thanks!

Put this post in the ingredients forum.

There is a BYO clone of this recipe that's supposed to be pretty good...
