Ok, I've brewed three batches, all with great results. They have all been Midwest kits. This brew is no exception. I'll be doing their Hefeweizen, with a few tweaks this time. Original recipe follows.
6 lb. Wheat liquid malt extract
1 lb. Light DME
8 oz. Carapils specialty grains, for steeping
1 oz Tettnang hops, boiled for the full 60 min
I was planning on adding
1.5 lbs. Honey, thinking half with 30min, the remainder at 10 min.
1 oz Styrings Golding hops, added at 2 min
Trying to make a Honey Weizen, I tend to like my beers on the stronger side, thinking the honey will boost the ABV, and give a bit more flavor with adding the honey at the 30 min mark, and some aroma adding the rest at 10 minutes. Thinking the OG will be in the neighborhood of 1.064, & final around 1.01.
I think the tweaks should work out fine. Any suggestions/comments would be appreciated.
