Wheatbo - First Weisse
Looking for feedback on this one, fellow brewers!
My brewing buddy, Frankie J. wants to try for something resembling a Hacker Pschorr. We typically brew all-grain ales with great success, but don't have the gear to easily do a decoction mash, yet. I consulted another homebrewer who spent a lot of time in Germany for some advice and proceeded to come up with this recipe. He tells me that he gets great results with extracts.

Yeast: | I understand that the yeast selection is crucial. I typically use White Labs Pitchables and grow enormous starters over a week or two for our ales. Any advice on yeast is greatly appreciated. I think that either the WLP-351 Bavarian Weizen or the WLP-300 Hefeweizen should do the trick. |
