Edelweiss recipe?

[JabbA]

Edelweiss is one of the few Weissbiers that I’ve come across and enjoyed!



The first time I tried it was at several hundred meters up in an alm in the Austrian alps near Seefeld a few years ago. Whilst shopping with the missus in Asda at the weekend we picked up a bottle and both really enjoyed it.

I’m slowly getting the kit together to enable to me lager, picking up a freecycle fridge tonight, and would like to have a go at re-creating the recipe, any ideas?

Cheers,
Jamie

I think I've only had that one once and it didn't really stick in my memory. It's a decent but fairly run-of-the-mill hefeweissbier isn't it? What I mean is that if you liked that one I don't really see why you wouldn't like most of them.

I'm thinking of doing a weissbier soon and mine is going to be a really simple recipe: 60% wheat malt, 40% lager malt, 15 IBU and yeast cultured up from a commercial bottle (if I can find one that uses the fermentation yeast for bottle conditioning).

Be brave, no pain no gain

80% wheat malt and 20% lager malt it makes a lot of difference
I started out on 50/50, then 60/40 then go one guess, now all my wheat beers are 80/20 it makes a big difference
Thats what a lot of the german wheat beers are
