Hefeweizen
batch 17ltrs
2kg wheat
1kg pilsner
0.6kg munichI
11g hallertau
5g saaz
500ml wyeast 3068

I have been looking at making a weizen, I have basically the same ingredients and proportions, I was thinking about using a little golden promise (to add a little extra sweetness) as well as munich, what do you think?

Don't overcomplicate it. 60% Wheat, 40% Pils, WY3068 @ 17c. Mash at 66, bitter to 15IBU with Hallertau.
Drinking a pint of Hefe with this exact recipe, and it's damn close to perfect. Only minor change would be a touch more colour, but this could be added via decoction if desired.
 
If you're looking for some extra maltiness try adding 15-20% of vienna. Works really well.
 
Ok thanks guys I guess the KISS approach is best for this style.

Thats what I was thinking. It's the simple ones with fresh ingredients that turn out the best for me. Also use German malts,hops and yeast in German beer.
 
Brewed a double batch of this today. Great brewday and all targets hit right on the nose.

Off topic.... Update your swap beers Gav! No idea what we're drinking.....



Cheers
 
That is a really intersting combo! have you made it before?

cheers

No never tried this.

I read somewhere licorice and orange go well together. The missus saw licorice root somewhere and suggested give it a try.

Sweet stout seemed the logical beer to try it in.

it's six days in the fermented. So a little while from reporting back, but so far tastes are good

http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...amp;recipe=1642 make sure you read the brewing notes for the full recipe as some ingredients are not listed in the database. mash schedule is also important.

Brewed this 4 times in the last 2 months I think. Great session beer. If you end up brewing it, let me know how the 1968 goes.

1187 is my favourite version so far although today's will get a dose of 1099 when the cube cools.
 
I brewed the mild I did with 1272 as I had some stored in fridge. Seems good out of fermenter will let you know once carbed how it is
 
Was yours the same/similar grist and mash schedule? Very easy brewday.

Be interested to hear how it ends up with 1272.
 
Yep exact same as yours piece of piss will be doing more
 
Put this one down on Boxing Day.

57.0 g Premium Pilsner (2.5 EBC) Grain 10 1.1 %
380.0 g Corn Sugar (Dextrose) (0.0 EBC) Sugar 11 7.1 %
25.0 g Hallertauer [5.60 %] - Boil 60.0 min Hop 12 14.3 IBUs
0.50 Items Whirlfloc Tablet (Boil 10.0 mins) Fining 13 -
5.00 g Yeast Nutrient (Boil 10.0 mins) Other 14 -
1.0 pkg Weihenstephan Weizen (Wyeast Labs #3068) Yeast Starter

Fermenter was not aerated.
Starter beer was poured off, and about 3 litres of wort added. Pitched about 2 hours later when starter was at high kraeusen. The whole thing went ballistic in very short time.

The reason for not aerating, and the use of the dextrose, is to minimise excessive clove esters and encourage some banana esters.

I have become a compulsive slut for perfecting this recipe. I think by subbing ale for pils it will leave alot more sweetness in the finished beer.

If only i put more effort into other things......... :ph34r:

You'll need more than ale malt with IBU's of over 54!!!
Drop your bittering back to approx 18 IBU's & you'll be a lot closer :)
