I've seen 148 and 158 listed for mash temps. What has everyone been doing?
Sambecker1 said:SD did you keg or bottle? If keg what schedule of pressure and timing?
Bugaboo said:This might of been discussed already, but how is the limeade calculated into the batch size? Do you brew 6 gal then add limeade or brew 5.5 gal and add limeade?

.note most hefeweizen's have very little carbonation, I personally like my carbonation so I make/serve just like any other beer!
The texture of wheat imparts the sensation of a fluffy, creamy fullness that may progress to a light, spritzy finish aided by high carbonation. Always effervescent.
Mysticmead said:most hefeweizens have high carbonation... here's a little snippet from the BJCP style guideline..
Every hefe I was ever served in Germany was pretty well carbonated...
I mistyped your right...I mention to say most are highly carbonated (sometimes at a rate of 4 times a normal beer) I however just serve them like the rest....I apologize for my misspeak/typo
I also used WLP300... it's the closest yeast i could source.... i brewed it cold so that the bana flavor would be subdued.. so, i just kegged it tonight.... once done, i had a pitcher left with no container to bottle it in... guess what i did, DRANK THE WHOLE THING FLAT! it was great!, warm and flat! i can't wait till this is carbed and chilled...... once of the best summer brews i've ever brewed. hands down.
Sambecker1 said:Kegged since Saturday and almost kicked . Guess I just need to make more!
sivdrinks said:Nice house, nice glass. Now invite me over for a taste before you kick it, wanna be sure I like it! I'm work in Cleona.
Sambecker1 said:HAHA thanks. Just moved back in after September floods and rebuilt house ourselves. I ended up kicking it last night...sorry. When I make it again I'll let ya know.
I did a version of this with wlp 300 and it came out great. There was a little bit of white pellicle when I bottled so there is a great sourness to it. I squeezed a lemon in one glass for an incredible citrus flavor. It was like summer shandy in the bizarro world.
Great recipe!!
I meant to ask you how sour the beer turned out...im a big fan of sour beers, but I can only drink 1 or 2 and im done with them for the night!
Ok, been in the bottle for about 1 month and it's just great. The citrus flavour is outstanding and it doesn't overshadow the strong BEER flavor, so it makes for the perfect drink on a summer day. I squeezed a lemon & lime in 1 glass, it only accentuates the positive qualities more. Great recipe
I made up a batch of this yesterday following the original recipe. We are unfortunately in our hot stretch this weekend with no ac, I came home from work tonight and the house was 80°! It's in the coolest closet in the house so hopefully things don't go too wrong.
i'm using this recipe as an example to learn how to convert all grain to partial mash using beersmith and i need help, this is my result so far..and the thread i started
"i put it in beersmith and noted the OG of 1.048 for a 6 gallon all grain boil, then reduced the 2 row to 5 pounds? since 1# of vienna plus 4# of white wheat. So i added 0.7# of LME to get back to 1.048. Did i do that right or do i need to change the type in beersmith from allgrain to partial, and the equipment from 13 gallon pot to 5 gallon pot??"

Trubnoob said:Thanks for posting this recipe. Sounded so good that I gave it a shot with an extract version - haven't done AG yet. Had to make a few changes (LHBS didn't have Sorachi), and made a few changes for fun (8oz. of honey malt, etc.) Looking forward to it. In the second week now, and it smells great.
Extract recipe I used:
• 6lbs Wheat Liquid Extract
• 1lb Light Dry Extract (15 min)
• 8oz Vienna Malt
• 8oz Honey Malt
• 0.33 Motueka Hops at 60 Minutes
• 0.25 Citra 20 minutes
• 0.33 Motueka Hops 20 minutes
• 0.25 Citra 7 Minutes
• 0.50 Lime Zest 5 Minutes
• White Labs Hefeweizen IV Ale Yeast
• Two days later, added 1.75L Simply Limeade
OG was 1.046
I’ll post the results!
