Trying my first attempt to this style this weekend. I have a funny feeling it will be the first of many! I'll be using Azacca, El Dorada, and Citra. 2 gen of Conan for yeast.
I ended up with a 1.072 OG, used washed 1318 in a 2L starter and ended up at 1.008 after 10 days using a tsp of yeast nutrient in the boil. Hydro sample was good, tons of aroma from 1st dry hop. Anxious to try it out next week after 2nd dry hop and being carbed.
So do you just throw the hops right in the keg, no bag or anything? How much beer do one of those leave or will it get it all out?
Just added first dry hop charge to my latest version of this. Trying Idaho "hop hash", along with citra, mosaic, and galaxy. At 31% alpha, the Idaho is uncharted territory, but it smelled so great at the LHBS, couldn't resist. We shall see. Didn't use it in either the flameout or hop stand additions. Just dry hop.

Holy S---! 31% AA! never heard of it!
No offense but at 88%aa with 1318 that must be some miracle nutrient! Any details you can add?
This is what I used. Northern Brewers yeast Nutrient. As you can see if you read, it is for wine and mead. But the beer yeast seem to like it. Just use it in moderation.

I brewed a version of this up on saturday morning and decided to use Imperial organics A20 Citrus yeast strain. OG of 1.057 Pitched at noon with fermentation chamber set to 69F. Fermentation started later that evening and by Sunday morning it was vigorously fermenting. The fermentation chamber smells like fruity/citrusy delicousness. Fermentation appeared to be just about complete already as of monday night, so I put in dry hop #1 and will add second set of dry hops on Saturday. I am really looking forward to this batch.
I know, I really wasn't sure how much to use. Just figuring that one oz of this stuff maybe equals about 3 oz of citra or galaxy which typically are in the 13-14% range.
Should know in about a week how this works out.
Well, if you used it for dryhopping only, the AA is not likely important. The beta acid content could increase IBUs in dry-hopping:

For dryhop character, oil content may be a more important guide. It looks to have pretty good oil content. Interested to hear what it does to the beer in dry hop.
I'll be kegging my version of this beer fermented with A20 Citrus at 72 degrees on Saturday! I will post a pic and description for sure, right now I'm very curious to see where the FG lands.
Interesting - thanks for the link. Label indicates total oil at 3.7mL/100g which is quite a bit higher than typical aroma pellet hop oil content from a quick on-line look. Beta at 9.4%.
Hefe not so much. But that mostly a function of the low flocc yeast.
thread hijack. in my experience, commerical hefeweizen (here and in germany), and my own hefeweizens clear up entirely in the bottle after a few weeks. However it is standard procedure to swirl up the bottom and pour the yeast in too, and imho a hefeweizen without the yeast tastes like it's missing part of the flavor profile.
Every place I had hefeweizen in german (probably 200+ different bars and restaurants) swirled up the yeast, and so do i.
I have to take special measures with my large bottles so I can get some yeast and cloudiness into the first glass too.
Curious to hear what kind of attenuation you get out of 1318 with that OG
Bottled my first attempt of this with WLP007, 150S:75C and dry hopped twice with citra/mosaic/galaxy. It finished at 1.009. HOLY S**T! This is literaly juice poured from heaven. Even with everything I have read, I was expecting a strong hints of fruits but not literaly a layered tropical juice bomb. Can't wait to have it carbed. I just hope that everything went fine and won't suffer of oxidation before they carb up properly.

I've never liked old homebrewed hefeweizens with the yeast, but I love commercial, German hefeweizen that is very cloudy. I think it offers more mouthfeel perhaps. I've heard that commercial hefeweizen has been cleared of most hefe yeast and is replaced with lager yeast, which is much more pleasant and does not autolyze as easily.

Is everybody using the same grain bill as post 1418? Has anyone come up with the grain bill or addition to get that super bright orange color? I know taste is what everyone is going for first, appearance is second but those glowing orange beers look delicious!
That looks great. Did you use the original recipe or the updated recipe from post #1418?
I'm brewing this today. Im going with the original recipe but forgot to add the white wheat and used flaked wheat instead on accident. We shall see how it comes out. Shouldn't be too much of a difference I would think.
If this recipe comes out as good as I'm hoping, I'm gonna brew a keg of it to bring on my bros bachelor party in Reno, and then another batch for his wedding to put in cans, with custom labels I made from their wedding photos. That's the plan anyhow..lol
Wanted to do this recipe with Denali eureka and Simcoe any suggestions on amounts?
70% 2 row
22% oats
8% wheat
All mosaic at flameout, whirlpool, dryhop
How do you like the 100% Mosaic? I have considered doing that, but just never pulled the trigger on it.
