Hotel beer. Ready for a weekend of softball for my daughter. Last big tournament of the summer.
 
Sorry, I've been MIA from this thread a few days. We have a friend and his family from Germany, visiting. Been here 3 days, spending 4 more, then they will fly to Las Vegas to rent a car and tour some national parks. Dieter has been to the US several times before, but first time for his daughter and girlfriend.

We've been showing them the sights, to the north shore of Lake Superior yesterday, and went for BBQ today and a brewery. The Americana experience.

They brought a few bottles of the local brew from their town of Heubach, in Baden-Wuerttemberg. And some Bretzeln from their local Baeckerie.

I just love beers like this – Hazy IPA’s that aren’t hazy! I’m looking on the can, what do I need to do, shake it up like a can of spray paint? Hmmm. Mission makes fantastic IPA’s – love ’em! This “Hazy” is as clear as a micro-polished Pilsner! “Hey, who forgot to add a scoop of haze murk to the “Waves” tank anyway? !!!”

This is my last entry for Mission Brewing, I’ve drank them all! Says it is a “Fruit Forward – Tropical - Juicy, 6.2% ABV Hazy. At least that’s what it says on the can!

OK, so it is a bit “Fruit Forward Tropical and Juicy” – but not over the top. Easy drinking and a real beauty (I prefer my IPA’s West Coast, crystal clear anyway.) I guess I mentally compare this to Voodoo Ranger Juice Force and it seems very restrained. Mission Brewing’s “Waves of Haze” is better for drinking in quantity I think. Chug!

A 6oz sample glass of the hefeweizen I brewed three weeks ago. I'm very pleased with how well the Lallemand Munich Classic yeast performed. First Hefe I've brewed and was nervous about dry yeast options - I'd say this one's a winner.
I used that for my last Hefeweizen and was very pleased

Really pleased to hear that! Years ago I tried WB-06 and that put me off dried hefe yeast. I have 10lbs of wheat that's been hanging around for a while. I think I might give that a shake.

One sachet is an acceptable pitch rate for a normal gravity hefe?

Yes. That’s all I used. I fermented a little on the cooler side because I prefer more clove flavor opposed to a banana bomb

I've used Munich Classic for Hefeweizens a few times and a single packet was plenty for a 5-6 gal batch.
