This is the recipe I used and it turned out awesome! All the hops makes it an expensive brew to make but we'll worth it.

I have a problem every time I do a wheat beer with a lot of sediment floating in the wort. On this batch it actually clogged the bazooka tube in my boil kettle and I had to siphon with a grain bag over the siphon. Not sure what the sediment is (maybe one of you can tell) but I would like to figure out how to get rid of it. It does settle out in primary but it makes a mess in boil, cooling and transfer.

I did a side by side with the Lagunitas and mine was a bit darker and more cloudy than their's. I think it was due to over toasting the white wheat. Next time I will toast at a lower temp (350). The flavor was almost exactly the same but mine was a bit sweeter, and a bit more hop aroma.

Am I reading this correctly (the latest 6 gl.recipe) approximately 4 ounces (varietal) for the dry hop ? And how long ?

Thanks

Yes you are reading it right. I told you it was expensive to make. The other thing is that my LHBS has hops in 1oz packets so you have to buy more than you need. You will have it laying around for another brew but it make the cost high.
This is my favorite homebrew though and is worth it. Just don't give it away in 6 packs.

As for dry hop duration... I think I did it for 5-7days. There is a 1000 opinions on how long to dry hop. You can search it in this forum and find multiple discussions.

It is the best of both worlds...high gravity malt/sweet wheat with the perfect dry-hopped character

Love this beer... here's the link to the Can you brew it recipe. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/can-you-brew-recipe-lagunitas-little-sumpin-sumpin-218399/

I'm curious about the above recipe. I put it into BeerSmith and get 17 IBU, not 60.

I want to make this recipe as I love LSS. The IBU should be 64. Should I just keep bumping up the Nugget?

 

[aslander]

I made this a week and a half ago. I mashed at 150, but fermentation apparently went a bit too well as I went from 1.076 to 1.014 (81% attenuation). Based on the numbers on the LSS bottle, I should have ended around 1.019 to meet their ABV %.

I will have to see how the final result is after aging a couple more weeks in primary and then dry hopping, but I'm thinking next time I may mash a bit higher so it's a bit sweeter.
