So I am taking the plunge and doing my first AG on Sunday. I came up with what sounds to me like a basic, but tasty hefeweizen. Here is the recipe and I welcome any and all critiques to it.
Name: Mein Hefe
Type: All grain
Batch Size: 5 gallons
Sparge: Batch sparge
Ingredients:
6 lbs wheat malt (63% grain bill)
3 lbs pilsner malt (32% grain bill)
1/2 lb flaked wheat (5% grain bill)
.75 oz Fuggles @ 60 minutes
.5 oz Fuggles @ 15 minutes
1 packet Wyeast 3068 Weihenstephan Weizen
Brewing Directions:
Use a single infusion mash at 155 F and batch sparge for a boil volume of about 5 gallons. Continue as normal with the indicated hop schedule. Cool and add to fermenter and top off to 5 gallons if necessary. Pitch yeast and install fermenter lid with airlock.
Fermentation Directions:
Allow to ferment at 68-72 F for two weeks and until gravity has stabalized near the target FG. Bottle with 3/4 cup priming sugar. Bottle condition for two weeks at room temperature.
Statistics:
Calculated OG: 1.050
Calculated FG: 1.012
ABV: 4.8
IBU: 12
SRM: 5
Thanks for any input.
