Working on brewing a hefe next up, found this post:
http://forum.northernbrewer.com/t/looking-for-a-hacker-pschorr-clone/12212/3
Wheat Malt 5lb
Pilsner 2lb
Vienna 1lb
Caramunich 60L 8oz
I'm guessing Caramunich II or III to get that 60L correct?
I'm debating between this and Gordon Strong's El Hefe which is simply:
6.0 lb (2.72 kg) Durst wheat malt
4.0 lb (1.81 kg) Durst pilsner malt
0.67 oz (19 g) Sterling whole hops, 6.2% a.a. (60 min)
Wyeast 3068 Weihenstephan Weizen ale yeast
Possibly gonna try a decoction as well, but not sure yet.
My last hefe I used too much acidulated malt in my RO water and it came out too sour, and I think I used too pale of malts and didn't get the color I wanted. I'm not planning on using any acid malt this time and simply sticking to CaCl and Gypsum if necessary. I'm going for banana so i'll keep it on the higher end of temps, and the color (and flavor) I'm looking for is displayed in that link above where the guy said he did side-by-side.
Thoughts on my next project? I'm really picky about hefe's and I want to get this one right.
