Notes: STYLE: American Wheat or Rye Beer
Back to Styles List
Aroma: Low to moderate grainy wheat or rye character. Some malty sweetness is acceptable. Esters can be moderate to none, although should reflect American yeast strains. The clovey and banana aromas common to German hefeweizens are inappropriate. Hop aroma may be low to moderate, and can have either a citrusy American or a spicy or floral noble hop character. Slight sourness is optional. No diacetyl.
Appearance: Usually pale yellow to gold. Clarity may range from brilliant to hazy with yeast approximating the German hefeweizen style of beer. Big, long-lasting white head.
Flavor: Light to moderately strong grainy wheat or rye flavor, which can linger into the finish. May have a moderate malty sweetness or finish quite dry. Low to moderate hop bitterness, which sometimes lasts into the finish. Low to moderate hop flavor (citrusy American or spicy/floral noble). Esters can be moderate to none, but should not take on a German Hefeweizen character (banana). No clove phenols, although a light spiciness from wheat or rye is acceptable. May have a slight tartness in the finish. No diacetyl.
Mouthfeel: Medium-light to medium body. Medium-high to high carbonation. May have a light alcohol warmth in stronger examples. Overall Impression: Refreshing wheat or rye beers that can display more hop character and less yeast character than their German cousins.
Comments: Different variations exist, from an easy-drinking fairly sweet beer to a dry, aggressively hopped beer with a strong wheat or rye flavor. Dark versions approximating dunkelweizens are acceptable (and can have some darker, richer malt flavors in addition to the color). ASSUMED.
Ingredients: Clean American ale yeast, but also can be made as a lager. Large proportion of wheat malt (often 50% or more, but this isn't a legal requirement as in Germany). American or noble hops. American Rye Beers can follow the same general guidelines, substituting rye for some or all of the wheat. Other base styles (e.g., IPA, stout) with a noticeable rye character should be entered in the specialty character. THE BREWER SHOULD SPECIFY IF RYE IS USED; IF NO DOMINANT GRAIN IS SPECIFIED, WHEAT WILL BE

Notes: Total Water Volume Needed = 10.50 gal
Mash Water = 5.00 gal @ 164 Deg
Mash Temp = 152 for 60 minutes
Sparge Water = 5.50 gal @ 170 Deg
Sparge Sit Time = 15 minutes
Add the following to each 5 gallons of water:
Gypsum - 2 tsp
Calcium Chloride - 1/2 tsp
Pre-Boil Volume = 7.75 Gallons
Add 5 drops Fermcap-S at boil
Add Corn Sugar with 15 minutes left on the boil
Add Whirlfloc tablets 15 minutes left in boil
Filter hops by putting a 5 gallon paint strainer bag into the primary and pouring wort through the strainer before pitching yeast
Rehydrate US-05 prior to pitching
1) Warm the dry yeast to room temperature
2) In a sanitized container, prepare 1/2 cup of sterile water at 95-105°F
3) Sprinkle the dry yeast on top of the water, trying to avoid setting up large, dry clumps.
4) Let sit 15 minutes, then gently stir.
5) When the yeast has reconstituted, gently stir again to form a cream and let sit another 5 minutes.
6) Carefully and slowly, adjust the temperature of the yeast to within 15°F of the wort temperature.
7) Pitch the resultant cream into the fermentation vessel, ideally as soon as possible. |

Bronze Medal, the Brew Hut Docktoberfest competition, September 2016
For 2017, slightly modified grain bill (reversed proportion of Munich to Pilsner malts, added an ounce of Caramunich, deleted acidulated malt), upped IBUs to 25. Won Gold Medal at the Brew Hut's annual Oktoberfest competition. That's me with the medal and the booty box in the upper left photo.... Won gold at Rocky Mountain Homebrew Challenge.
For 2018: Modify as follows: Reduce IBUs to 23. Replace Tettnanger with Hallertau. Add some Carapils for head retention. Try mods on a 2.5 gallon batch.
I am not happy with the 2018 mods, particularly the melanoidin. Will keep the Carapils, lose the Crystal Malt and make a 3-gallon batch for Docktoberfest. |
