I have an ounce of Spalt pellets that I would like to add to my Heffeweizen I'm brewing tonight. Not sure how to use them but I've read they are finishing hops. I'm thinking 1/4 oz at 10 minutes, 1/4 oz at 5 minutes and 1/2 oz dry hop in the secondary.
The kit is from Red Beaver and they don't list the ingredients (so you can't reproduce their beer?) so unfortunately can't tell you the rest of the recipe. If I had to guess I'd say 9 lbs of wheat DME, and ounce of unknown hops at 45 minutes and a sachet of yeast.
You should also know I'm planning on adding 1/2 lb of 100% maple syrup at the 2 minute mark to up the ABV some.
I'm mainly looking for comments on the hops but welcome your thoughts on the maple syrup as well.
