||||||||
| Add LME at 15 min. Add honey at 10 min. Add Tettnanger at 5 min. Late add's for Extracts produces >25 IBU. |
||||||||
| Hops: | .5 oz. Northern Brewer (7% AA, 45 min.) .25 oz. Tettnanger (4% AA, 5 min.) |
|||||||
| Yeast: | Safbrew WB-06 new wheat yeast, rehydrated. | |||||||
| Log: | Brew: 2-15-08 Low efficiency due to missing upper temp and too short time. Secondary: 2-20-08 Split batch - .75 gal + added 2 oz Boysenberry puree in secondary 1.75 gal normal to secondary. Nice red tint to Boysenweizen!! Bottle: 2-24-08 Taste: 3-7-08 Weizen is very clean, soft and neutral. |
|||||||
| Carbonation: | 3.8 volumes | Corn Sugar: 3.98 oz. for 2.5 gallons @ 70°F | ||||||
| 35 tsp/11 TBLS for about 20 bottles. 3 tbl for Boysenweizen, 8 tbl for Weizenbrew Dissolve in boiling water, and cool. |
||||||||
| Tasting: | WB-06 produced soft and neutral flavor. High IBU due to late add of extracts pushes towards crisp, but very good. Good dry, clean wheat, but not much bubble gum or banana, would need Bavarian liquid for that! One of my best brews yet, will go into my annual rotation! | |||||||
