4oz Munich (for color steep)
8oz Wheat DME
6# Wheat LME

0.5oz Hallertauer (4.8%) @ 60
0.5oz Hallertauer (4.8%) @ 30

Pitched 1.5L starter of #3068 and fermented for 10 days with gradual increase in temp per above, then kegged and carbed up to 2.6vols

This is an extract version of a Bavarian Hefeweizen that I was pleased with. Simple recipe. Fermentation could have remained a little cooler. I cold crashed but it wasn't necessary. This batch went into the keg but I think next time they will be bottled. Try and and let me know what you think!
