Until now I've been brewing Coopers kits with less-than-desirable results, so I decided to go extract with hops and specialty grains. I'm brewing this recipe in hopes to have it ready for my birthday and I want I don't want to be disappointed. Here's the recipe I have in mind:
6# - Briess Bavarian Wheat LME
6 oz - Gambrinus Honey Malt (Steeped)
1 oz - Hallertau (60 min)
I have a couple of questions. Should I use Nottingham yeast, or go with US-05? Also, should I add some honey, or just stick with the honey malt? Does the honey malt give much of a honey flavor or is it completely different?
Thanks in advance for the help.
