Notes

Plan to pitch 2 packs of rehydrated SAFALE WB-06. Chosen for the style, and ability to ferment at my ideal temp range of 70-74. I want to get the banana esters typical of a good German Hefe Weisen.

Expect to ferment 4-7 days in primary.

Will monitor gravity starting day 4, when it stabilizes at 1.008 (corrected) or less, will cold crash for 2-3 days.

Expect to bottle 5 gallons after boil off, cooling, trub loss, fermenter loss, bottling losses.

Bottle condition. Boil 0.6 cup honey in 1.5 cups water and put in bottling bucket xfering beer from fermenter.
