Hi All ;
I'm brewing a weiss beer on wednesday . This is my recipe ;
3.25kg Wheat Halt
2.00kg Pilsener
50gm Roasted Wheat
25gm Saaz @ 60 min
15gm saaz @ 15 min
10gm Saaz @ 5 min
Yeast WLP 300 . 2lt starter
Total IBU 14.4
Single decoction with a protein rest @ 52.5* C . Decoct 9.38lt of mash to 68* C and rest 45 min and bring to boil . Mash out @ 75.6* C over 10 min hold for 10 min and recurculate etc, etc .
As Melbourne water is mainly neutral is it worth adding any gypsum or calcium to get a truer style to this beer or just leave it alone ? Any input would be greatly received .
Thanks
