Notes
Made a starter the NEW way. 3500ml of filtered water with 1# DME and it made a rocking huge amount of yeast. Made it a week before and cold crashed for 3-4 days to pack it. Poured off and onto the counter that morning.
Strike temp was 138 but had been off heat for a few minutes and stabilized there - disc was not hotter than liquid. Lost 7 degrees. 20 min at 131. Brewers' Friend strike temp calculator was close but said we'd hit 129 instead.
First decoction pulled and brought to 153 for 15 min then boiled for 15 min. Added back in slowlyyyyy to bring it to 153. Held for an hour then tried to mash out. Mash stuck badly and we stirred and scraped and piddled for a half hour before calling it - NO mash out. Started sparge. First runnings at 95!
Collected 17.5g. after a 2 hour sparge at least! Preboil gravity 1.049. Boiled 75 minutes and cooled and pitched without incident.
Fermented for 4 days and the FG was 1.012 so we bottled about 3g and cold crashed the rest. Added enough white table sugar dissolved in ~1/2c. boiling water (simple syrup) to get to 3.9 volumes as stated in the Brewer's Friend Calculator. Left bottles at room temp for 2 weeks. Tried one - carbonation a bit aggressive, but fine - tasted fantastic!
After 2 full weeks of cold-crashing, FG at 1.010. Kegged the rest.
Very good wheat beer! The kegged stuff is very good, the bottled is excellent. The kegged is still not clear 5 weeks from brew day but clearing. The bottled is significantly over-carbonated. Three months out and the kegged Crystal Hefe has fallen Very clear and is fantastic.
