For a big Bavarian Style Weissbier you grainbill and single infusion is fine, 16 IBU's from one 60 min addition. A single FRESH pack of 3068 and ferment at 22C for that nice banana and slight bubblegum ester.

Extract is slightly less fermentable so you should expect somewhat less attenuation than quoted by the manufacturer as the quoted figure would be achievable in perfect conditions.
Conventional pitching rate is 1. For Ales 750000 cells per ml of wort per degree plato. 2. For Lagers 1500000...
As Yob says the place to measure is at the hottest point in the closed system. HEX Wort out is that point, wort temp will not be higher anywhere else in the system. No point measuring in the Mash Tun if the wort temp is going to be higher somewhere else in the system. After you have been...

I'm putting my hand up cos I remove 4 L pre boil and reduce it down to 400ml then add it back to the kettle for extra caramelisation in my UK bitters. Surely that covers both All Grain and Extract Brewing :) :super:

Then that would be pitching yeast. Not a starter!
Remember yeast cells bud/multiply depending upon how much food/sugar and oxygen is available to the cell walls (cell walls take in sugar so the more cells per ml of wort = less budding) So.... pitching a vial (if fresh 100 billion cells) of...
Sure it was dextrose not Dextrin, 10% of Munich malt would up the FG a little plus your 69° Rest. I would expect a 1.082 beer fermented using 05 to finish around 1.016 so you're only a few points high. No mention of IBU's but you say it is reasonably bitter. Remember, beer should be well...
To my way of thinking
This would tend to indicate the use of Caraffa Special II or III for colour. Maybe replace your Roast Barley with Caraffa III.

Thanks manticle, I slipped up there, very very important to remember to correct refractometer readings once fermentation begins.
