Did two versions of Hefeweizen via extract today
First up was just a straight up hefeweizen
6.3 pounds wheat malt extract
1 oz Tetnang Hops (45 minute boil)
1 oz Hallertauer Hops (last 15 minutes)
SG was 1.042
Wyeast Wiehanstephan slap pack yeast
Second batch was exactly the same
plus 1.5#'s clover honey
SG 1.048
Wyeast Wiehanstephan slap pack yeast
I think I'm going to start to try to culture my own yeast for future use as those packs go for $7 a pop and I think I can do it myself. I found an article at another beer forum that shows how to do it.
