Notes: May 2016
The LME is Williams Brewing German Weizenmalt # M77. It is a blend of 60 percent German wheat and 40 percent Moravian 2 row barley. You can do a 50/50 blend by using 3.3 lb bottles each of Wheat and Light Barley LME and get similar results with a little higher gravity. Cut the DME to 10 oz and it's about the same.
The DME is Briess Bavarian Wheat. I cut my propane burner @ 45 minutes and add the DME, hops, whirlfloc and chiller. Turn on the burner and restart your timer when it's boiling again.
I know 2 1/2 ounces of hops sounds like a lot for a Weissbier. The Lubliner is polish hop I bought from Nikobrew about September 2015. It was from the 2012 harvest and the AA is probably not 4.7 anymore but they have a nice herbal quality. The Saaz, a Czech variety, adds a subtle earthy and slightly spicy finish not really common to a Weissbier but it's not in your face.
Now for the yeast. I know US05 is pretty lame. What can I say, I forgot to get a German yeast. Next time something good.
I always rehydrate my yeast in a wort sample I take as I transfer from the boil kettle to the fermenter.
I also always oxegenate the wort with an O2 wand rather than sloshing the wort around inside the fermenter.

Notes: With or without spices? Also, I may consider reducing the bittering hops.
Adding unrefined sugar will result in a drier beer with a lighter mouth-feel.
Yeast is certainly most important here, 65-66F fermentation is ideal. |

Cold-brewed specialty coffee added to secondary fermentor, sat for 10 days; cold-conditioned for 5 days before kegging.
Attempted to keep mash temp up near 154 by periodically adding boiling water....some success; still dropped to 150 at the end of the hour. |

| Notes: Third variation on a classic English style I got to enjoy while stationed over there. Still hunting for the right flavors although the misses have been enjoyable for their own merits. Changes in this iteration are primarily in water chemistry. Boosting the gypsum levels higher than I do for other malt forward beers although staying short of the historical "Burton" water. |
