Notes

Based on Norther Brewer's Hefeweizen recipe.

Added dried elderberry at the end of the boil and dry to the fermenter in a ball with a magnet.

Started with too much water, so I boiled hard and added about 10 minutes to the end. Added sugar to boost the ABV to compensate for water. . .

The got a surprisingly high 1.055 OG.

Fermentation is roaring in 12 hours. Bubbling like crazy in airlock and visible in trub catch.

8 days: 1.015

11 days: 1.011 / Dropped second dry elderflower infusion
Occasional bubbles still visible in trub catch

Planning to bottle at 14 days, but surprised to still see bubbling.
