Galaxy Hop-weizen (Extract)

Post by Jocky » Sun Feb 03, 2013 1:05 am

I fancied giving a hefeweizen type beer a go (and perhaps rashly purchased some Safale WB-06 yeast), but I wanted to add a bit more fruit flavour to the weizen, so decided to make something with a bit more hop in it instead.

Thoughts on the hop balance in here would be nice. With so little bittering requirement in a weizen, I wanted to add it all later in the boil.

With barely 20 IBUs you should be good to go. I think I'd go a bit more.
I'm just here for the beer.

I'm very nervy about 20IBU already - I still want the yeast to come through a bit.
