What are you brewing II ?

[Dave86]

2nd Brew (of the year! Damn full time work!) on the new herms. The first ended up too strong with a low volume. This ended up to low in gravity and more than I could fit in the fermenter :angry: Next brew I will get it right...

So this one will be hefe-light, hopefully not too watery..

53% Wheat Malt
34% Bo Pils
13% JWM Vienna

13 IBU US Hallertauer @ 60 min

Danstar munich wheat to ferment

Electric element boilers are too different to the old trusty 4-ring burner, I think I might go back to gas for the boil...

Edit: More a hefe-light than a mid-strength

Hey Warra48, Im thinking the same thing, might do a scottish /60 as well soon. I have a 5.5% Am Amber fermenting and a 7% AIPA ready to hit the slurry as soon as the amber is done... i dont want to be knocking my self out every night and 2 low ABV beers sound like a good idea.
