Do you mean catering-service-uk?

I'm looking at getting a bigger boiler and i had a look at some stainless ones but unfortunately the price is too steep for me at the moment! :(
I need a bigger one so i'll just get a big plastic jobby with 2 elements!

Ta for the recipie! Brewed it last night and is currently fermenting like a goodun!

Just a few quick questions (as I'm still a newbie at this).

OG was 1048, this is fine for the style? (I think the original was about 5.2% ABV)
Any ideas that the FG would be?

Wheat beers in general are supposed to be easy drinking, with the exception of the bock. But you don’t want alcohol above 5.5%

The book says FG of 1.012

I have FG 1.010 after one week.

Good luck

Thanks for the info, sadly the beer is in Sheffield and I'm in Newcastle.

Pesky floods.

First sample bottle, second and third are rather good.

I'll leave it alone and move onto the turbo! :twisted:

I have been trying my wheat beer over the last week.
It has mellowed over the last few weeks and is now very drinkable? :twisted:

On Sunday I compared it to a bottle of Schneider Weisse and SWMBO and I could not tell the difference. So its got the thumbs up, I am sure this keg will not be lasting very long!
