Very nice day - all well - FV safe and tucked up.

What yeast? THAT'S going to be the BIG determiner on flavour!

cool, hope it's a good one. I like to go with 60% wheat malt and WLP300. love those Weiss banana flavours!

Oops - forgot to mention that - it was a weiss bier yeast I saved from my first AG - a Brupack Weiss bier grain kit - pretty sure it was a weiss yeast. There was a big banana aroma with that one.

Oh yes - here we go.

WLP300 needs one of these labels on the tube:



Brewing a WLP300 hefe tomorrow myself, can't wait...

You know it!

Blow off tube every single time!

Will try WLP300 in the future - but there's no holding this one it's very active.

Very active - in fact its making a bid for freedom - bangin its head on the lid.




...and then succeeding..

That stuff is like treacle!!!

Flippin' 'eck!

Must have gone to school with the '300, that one

A quality test tonight - well its the best one so far. I will deffo be doing this one again.

Good head - refreshing Weiss bier taste. I could very happily just make this one ad infinitum.
