Notes

This is a multi-step mash regime.

Mix Belgian wheat, two-row malt, and dextrin malt into 15 qts. (14.2 L) water to settle mash temperature at 110 °F (43 °C) and hold for 15 min.

Raise the temperature to 148 °F (64 °C) and hold 15 min.
Raise the temperature to 155 °F (68 °C) and hold for 35 min.
Raise the temperature to 168 °F (76 °C) and sparge with enough water to collect 6 gal (23 L).

Bring to a boil and add first hops addition. Total boil is 60 min. Boil 30 min. and add 2nd hops addition.
Boil 15 min. more and add Irish moss.
Boil 5 min. more and add yeast nutrient.
Boil 10 min. more.
Cool and pitch yeast at 70 °F (21 °C).

Hold fermentation temperature between 66 and 68 °F (19 to 20 °C).
Transfer to secondary after kraeusen falls and condition for 10 to 12 days.

If bottling, prime with 3/4 cup corn sugar, bottle, and condition further at room temperature for two weeks.

Its the best Hefeweizen I have brewed to date due to great grain selection, step mash, RIMS system, and good yeast. Final log 1.002 ... 6.96 ABV
