Notes

First attempt at my own original recipe, my all time favorite: Bavarian Weissbier.

Took 3rd in German Wheat & Rye beers at the Southern New England Regional Homebrew Competition 2013.

For 2nd batch trying a single infusion mash and different yeast, 3068 instead of 3056.

Batch 2 came out watery and lacking body, very disaapointing. Trying a double decoction next time, also added 2 lbs Carapils.

Got it right now, best version yet, no more changes to the recipe.

Had to substitute Belgian Carapils for German Carapils this latest batch for color reasons.
Trying a single decoction this time and raising fermentation temp from 65 to 68
Also cut back the bittering 1.5 IBUs
