JP's Heiney Weiss

Honey Wheat beer recipes seem to be a dime a dozen, but, as a homebrewer I can't leave well-enough alone. Here's my shot at making something similar to Leinie's Honey Weiss. It's named after my brother-in-law.

Brewer:	NoBucks Brewery		Email:	flei2k@yahoo.com
URL:	http://www.projectnobucks.com
Beer:	JP's Heiney Weiss		Style:	American Wheat
Type:	Extract		Size:	5 gallons
Color:	3 HCU (~3 SRM)		Bitterness:	14 IBU
OG:	1.048		FG:	1.004
Alcohol:	5.7% v/v (4.5% w/w)
Water:	Our water here in Marquette, MI is soft water right from Lake Superior, lightly chlorinated. As far as tap water goes, it's the best water I've ever tasted.
Boil:	75 minutes	SG 1.060	4 gallons
	1.5 lb. Light dry malt extract 3 lb. Wheat extract 1.5 lb. Honey
	I tossed in a teaspoon of Irish Moss with 15 min. left in the boil. The Clover Honey was pasteurized at 160°F, then added to the brew bucket, and the wort was poured on top of that, then the bucket was topped off to 5 gallons. I think that made the OG a little higher than what the Recipator predicted it would be, as I ended up with an OG of 1.053.
Hops:	0.75 oz. Kent Goldings (4.5% AA, 60 min.) 0.50 oz. Kent Goldings (4.5% AA, 15 min.)
Yeast:	Two Packets of Munton's dry ale yeast, rehydrated. Wort was cooled to 70°F before pitching the yeast.
Log:	Brewed on May 22, 2005. Racked on May 26, 2005. Gravity at racking was 1.016.
Carbonation:	I plan to prime it with 1 cup of corn sugar.
Tasting:	I'll let you know in a few weeks.
