Added 1.18mL Lactic acid in addition to reaching the above ion levels to hit a mash pH of 5.50. I targeted a slightly higher mash pH due to the acidifying properties of Wy3068, and I don't want an overly tart hefeweizen. |

Notes
I mixed Rahr Red Wheat with Dingemans Wheat. 4.5# red to 3# dingemans. Red wheat is potentially "more robust" and contributes greater color than white wheat. I love a good, golden hefeweizen--to me this beer shouldn't appear overly pale. I also used Melanoidin malt instead of my intended victory as it's all I had on-hand.
I've made probably 20 hefeweizen batches over the years, and I never aroma hop. not this time. I decided a small 7 gram charge of Mittelfruh at 15 minutes was worth adding to see if it improves the beer. I'll update these notes with the results and my thoughts (today, brew day, is 4/5/2024 for reference).
5/10/24: This is the best hefeweizen I've ever brewed. Therefore I am giving this one the "Legacy" label as a beer that needs no further modification, and will be brewed in this exact way in perpetuity.
9/27 - can't get enough of this beer, so i brewed it again. Changes made this time only include using 100% rahr red wheat instead of a mix of white wheat and red wheat. i pitched a whole bag of G01 Stefon, too, since Wyeast is half the amount of yeast for the same cost, and I don't buy into the underpitching argument. Will update with progress. Mash schedule 122F for 15 min, 147f for 20 min, 152-154f for 120+ min, no mashout.
