Clean House Wheat

This recipe was formulated using various leftover adjuncts that should contribute to
the American Wheat style guidelines. This is the first for this recipe and
I am splitting this batch using two different yeasts.
They are Wyeast 1056 and 1968.

Brewer: Dan Johnson Email: shagNOSPAM@ipass.net
Beer: Clean House Wheat Style: American Wheat
Type: All grain Size: 12 gallons
Color:
7 HCU (~5 SRM)
Bitterness: 19 IBU
OG: 1.043 FG: 1.006
Alcohol: 4.8% v/v (3.8% w/w)

Grain: 8 lb. 8 oz. British pale

Mash: 85% efficiency
Mashed at 150 dgrees for 65 minutes
Boil: 90 minutes SG 1.037 14 gallons
14 oz. Light dry malt extract
Irish moss at 10 minutes. I pump recycled the wort using a false bottom in the boil kettle at the end
of the boil and during the immersion chilling of the wort for 30 minutes.
This sets and removes a great deal of trub and break as the leaf hops
act as a filter above the false bottom
Hops: 1 oz. Northern Brewer (7% AA, 60 min.)
1 oz. Cascade (6% AA, 30 min.)
1 oz. Kent Goldings (aroma)
Yeast: I am splitting this batch using two different yeasts.
They are Wyeast 1056 and 1968. This should give me very contrasting
results and an idea of what each yeast contributes to the final beer.

5 days. Keg and condition at 34 degrees for 3 weeks.
