More explanation, please

The 3068 batch is tasting wheaty, SG=1010
The WLP838 batch not so wheaty. SG=1020
As per my earlier post re: old hops. I'm just hoping some bitterness is evident once this gets poured into a pint.

Any suggestions on names for these twins are welcome :icon_chickcheers:

As of last night,
3068 is down to 1006
WLP838 is at 1012.
I reckon the 3068 is ready to bottle, but I'll leave the 838 for another week to be sure.
The split batch has been worth it for the flavour differences.

Where did you get the Hallertau pellets from ??? ? I can't find any Hallertau that is above 4% AA .... your pellets at 8% seems to be quite higher but economical

Good pickup FEB.............

Id say he has used the default hop bitterness in the brewing software by the looks and it has under bittered as a result.

I always change the AA rating of the hops in the hop database when i get them.

cheers

Pretty sure it's some old Country Brewer pellets ones that have been in the freezer for a couple of years.
Not sure how old, so they could have deteriorated somewhat.

Here's the final recipe.
I dropped the late hop addition.

I have some hallertau at about 8% AA. I think they're the Kiwi variety.

 

[Tony]

Thats a good looking dark heffeweisen.

You really need the dark wheat for a true Dunkelweizen though.

Picky i know...... but dark wheat and munich malt have very different flavours.

Cheers

I have some "Hallertau Aroma" (NZ 09 season) which I think I got from CraftBrewer that come in at 8.10%

Yeah so everyone says about dark wheat. I'll make sure I give it a go next time.
Planning on bottling the 3068 batch tomorrow night and entering it in the Castle hill comp, see what the judges have to say.

Finally tasted the first stubby last week and it tastes good. Not outstanding, but still good.
Finally got around to bottling the WLP838 batch tonight. FG=1008.
Once it's carbed up I'll do a proper side by side comparison, hopefully with pics.
Cheers for the input guys.
