I'm brewing a wheat/weiss beer today and I wanted some quick feedback on my recipe. I am going for a simple, partial-mash brew that is close to the Weissen I drank in Munich this past summer:
7 lbs Wheat Malt Liquid Extract
.5 lb Malted Barley
1 lb clover honey @ 30 minutes
1 oz Hallertau @ 60
.5 oz Tettnanger @ 15
.5 oz Tettnanger @ 5
Wyeast 3068 Weihenstephan Weizen (If my LHBS has it)
.5 lb toasted barley steeped at 155 for 10 minutes then strain into wort.
Should I just do 6 lbs of Extract, or will the 7 lbs be good for a little extra ABV and taste?
I made this recipe on my own, so I'm not expecting it to be the end all of Weissens. I figure that homebrewing will be more fun if I create and tweak my own recipes rather than use someone else's all the time.
