WelshPaul said: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
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.Aleman said:Great German Summer drinking beer . . .light crisp and refreshing . . .and ready really young . . .like 2-3 weeks from pitching.
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:Runwell-Steve said: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.
