hello all, so i brewed my first beer yesterday. i'm aiming for a widmer type wheat.
1/2 lb flaked wheat, steeped at 130-150 for 30 minutes
1 oz. tettanager 60 mins.
6 lbs wheat DME
safale us-05
steeped flaked wheat for 30 mins in a 4x7 hops bag, added 1 cup of DME then boiled hops for 60 mins. added the remaining DME and let boil for 20 mins(took longer to get it all in than i thought it would, i used a small bowl so i could dip it in the pot to get all the DME in there) cooled wort in cold bath water. one screw up on my part was i added 3 gallons of bottle spring water to the carboy befor i put my wort in so i had about a pint of wort left over(oops, now i know better) got the airlock on with some cheap vodka in it, now about 16 hours later i have a steady bubble of about 20 a minute, about a half inch of krausen, and about the same of trub on the bottom.
anyways, i'm excited to see what happens. as long as its drinkable when its all said and done, i'm a happy camper. feel free to post any feedback.
