I'll be doing this as my second batch this weekend. I took the original recipe for "Golden Path Hefeweizen" posted on this site and tweaked it a little bit using BeerSmith. This is my first time using this program as well.
I increased my boil volume to 4 gallons (in a 5 gallon kettle), tweaked the recipe for a late extract addition, and reduced some of the extract to meet BeerSmith's recommended OG calculation for this beer style. Here's what I came up with.
Everything look ok? Anything I might want to tweak in this recipe before brewing?
