Great German Summer drinking beer . . .light crisp and refreshing . . .and ready really young . . .like 2-3 weeks from pitching.

Uses 50% wheat malt and 50% lager malt.

I got really boring talking about them here (Alemans Erdinger Recipe)
 
Superb. Thanks for that sound great. :cheers: Def gonna do that one. :thumb:
 
I have 23l brewing at present and here's what I used:

2000g pale malt
1800g malted wheat
500g oats
200g sugar

25g Perle Hops (90 mins)
25g Halletau hops (90 mins)

11g Safale S-05 yeast.

OG = 1.042
FG = 1.010

Thats not really a wheat beer though is it?

I think to be a true whaet beer 50% or more of the grain bill should be wheat. But I'm not too concerned about that.

I would be more looking at the yeast, for a Wheat Beer you really should be using yeast designed for the purpose to bring out the estery, banana and spicy flavours, I don't think you will get any of that from US-05.

Does it need to be drunk young? I made a dunkel weissbeer and tasted great early on, but now its more like the east europe dark lagers without a trace of that banana/clove weissbeeryness.

Yes, I was supposed to use a dedicated wheat beer yeast but I lost the bloody thing on brew day morning and had to use the S-05 instead! :evil:
