Hot as Balls today and for the near future in Omaha. This makes it a bit better.

The Frozen Tundra hasn’t been very frosty this week-high 80s, low 90s. That’s more like August. My wife has been at the city house all week. It’s been 100+ for the last 3 days there. Supposed to be 75-80 after today, that’s pretty normal.
 
Drinking a Franziskaner Hefeweizen, just bottled 5gal of my own Hefeweizen, first batch with dry yeast, and a pre-bottle taste was excellent, great banana flavors, 5.1ABV. I LOVE home brewing !
Nice! Which dry yeast did you use? I have a dunkelweizen next to brew(hopefully next Monday!). I recently switched to all dry yeasts and cant wait to test out Munich classic in it.
 
Safale WB-06 German Wheat, I am certain that it is every bit as good as the liquid yeasts ive used before (White Labs and Wyeast) and so simple, 5gals, one packet, sprinkled straight ontop !
Haven’t tried that one yet. Agree with the ease of using them, though. Plus there’s a lot of good options out there too.

cheers 🍻
 
This is my 6th all-grain brew and I'm so delighted that I'm making not only my own beer, but that I actually prefer it to some of the commercial Weizens. There's a freshness and clean taste that is often missing, at least in some of the export beer. I loved in Germany as an intern and my brew reminds me so much of fresh weizen in the beer garden in Stuttgart.
 
Best I made was a massive underpitch of 3068. I tried wl300 with decent results last year, but didn’t get the banana I was hoping for. If I can find a good hefe dry yeast, and a good kolsch dry yeast, I may never go back.

Fermenting warmer will give you that banana. I like a 70/30 banana/ Clove ratio myself.
 
Definitely try the Safale German Wheat and the Lallemand Kolsch. I made a single batch of German Pils and acidulated Munich, for a 3.0 PH wort. I then fermented half with Philly Sour and half with the Lallemand Kolsch and got two really enjoyable beers, a Berliner Weisse and a Kolsch (I used some lactic acid in the finished Berliner to lower the PH a bit further, tart and refreshing)

Great hefe yeast, it's what I use. Gives a nice balance. If you brew it in the low 60s/high 50s, gives a really nice clove profile.
 
Been eating well for batching it! I’m way more into cooking when it’s for two. I’d probably be on my fourth pizza at the bar up the street, ha.

Well, there is no bar up the street. Hell, there isn’t even a street, just an unpaved county road. We‘re so far off the beaten path that it took Google years to finally find us.
