I am going to attempt a König Ludwig Weissbier Clone. I am currently enthralled by this beer as it is a very flavorful and refreshing authentic Bavarian Hefeweizen. I have brewed the recipe below with Wyeast 3056 but this time I am going to culture yeast from König Ludwig bottles in order to try and duplicate its unique and yummy yeast character. The batch I brewed with Wyeast 3056 was highly successful. I will post an update after I taste the finished beer.

For a more notable crisp malt character, a Decoction mash may be recommended instead. For simplicity, I am going to just do an infusion mash on this first attempt.
