Landlord.
Got this on the go last night:
Bavarian Hefeweizen
ABV after bottling: 5.4%
Bitterness: 12.5 IBU
Colour: 7 EBC
2.7kg German Wheat Malt
2.3kg Bohemian Pilsner Malt
32g Hallertauer Hersbrucker @ 90mins
18g Tettnang @ 10mins
Tettnang is a bittering hop generally, but I ran out of Hersbrucker and reasoned that Tettnang or Saaz would be a good substitute.
WLP300 Hefeweizen Ale yeast
14.5 litre mash @ 66ââÆ
20 litre sparge @ 75ââÆ
Pre-boil gravity reading was 1.038 which brings the BHE out at 67.5% - my average.
OG was spot on at 1.050, which should give 5% after fermentation. Bottling will push it up to 5.3-5.4% (going for a carbonation volume of 3.75).
Immersion chilled and yeast pitched @ 23ââÆ. Switched on the HLT at 19.10 and was all done by 01.20, a good run for me. Left the clearing until this morning though!
