I planned on an OG of 1.050. Expecting my mash efficiency to be low, I added an extra pound of wheat malt and an extra pound of barley. Of course, my efficiency ended up being close to 90%. OG ended up being 1.070
7lbs Munich pale
6lbs Wheat malt
Mashed at 145F for 60min
Raised the temp to 165F for 20min
Allowed to rest until temp dropped to 140F
60 minute boil
0.75 oz hallertau mittelfrueh hops 60min
0.25 az hallertau mittelfrueh hops 10min
Cooled to 60F and pitch 1 liter of WLP300 starter.
Ok, the OG is too high for this to be a true Hefeweisen. So what should I call it? Per my calculations, this should finish at around 1.018 and have an ABV of 6.5%. Too high of ABV to be a Hefeweisen.
Is there a name for something like this?
