My wife, who doesn't drink a lot of beer is interested in me brewing a Hefe and specifically an Erdinger clone. I haven't had much luck in finding one, although there was a 8 year old discussion started by @damnyankee and supported by @jaba and others which set me on this path:
20 gal (start 22 gal) All Grain:
15 lb Pilsner Ger (40%)
23 lb Wheat Ger (60%)
152 degrees Single Infusion 152 degrees - RIMS
60 min boil
2.0 oz Tettnang 30 min
2.0 oz Hallertauer 15 min
Bavarian Wheat Yeast 3056 (big starter) (chosen for slight less banana and clove than other Witbiers)
Beersmith spits out:
Gravity: 1.047
Bitterness: 10.1
Color: 3.4 SRM
For those that know Erdinger, do you think this is close? I don't do a lot with wheat, do you think rice hulls are a good idea (especially with the RIMS)?
If I nail it, I am hopeful there will be fewer questions about the brewing bits that arrive in the mail on a regular basis...
