[leedsbrew]

As SWMBO is away today, I'm not at work, and tow of my mates helped me finish off the last of the stocks last night I'm getting this underway today. Just getting stuff together before getting the strike water up to temp. this will be my 1st wheat beer so wanted to hear peoples thoughts.

Cheers




I will be using Danstar Munich not brewferm wit. Couldnt find munich in the drop down menu.

Looks good

I normally dont put any aroma hops in, normally all done as a bittering addition.
Which most reciepes seem to reflect.
But I am no expert by any means.

thanks for the input matey. I've got a couple of hours to mull it over. only 15 mins into the mash.

thanks again

I'd go with Mr. Walker on this......move the 5 minute hops back a bit. Keep the same 20 IBU, but either put the second lot in at 15 minutes, or put them all in for the full boil.

Otherwise, it looks good to me.

thanks adm.

I've moved it back to 15 mins and reduced down to 15g. This should give me 16IBU's.


thanks again chaps. will put it up in the brewdays section in due course

Agree about the hops, you really don't want hop flavor or aroma in a weizen. It's all about fermentation temperature control, you can go for clove, bananna or a combination of both, have fun.
