Hello,
I just tasted my hefe and it tastes like wine. I am a little early tasting it (brewed 1/30) as it my first "original" recipe and I wanted to see how it turned out. Nothing special just 57% red wheat, 25% pilsner, 8% caracrystal wheat malt and1% acidulated malt. Long mash as i tried to step mash and that did not work so well. Probably mashed vor nearly 2 hours starting around 110F and finally getting to 152 for at least 45 minutes. 1 pack of wyeast 3068. I think I fermented too high, around 74F. It was very actively fermenting and had to use blowoff tube. Ugh. Am impatient or is this beer going to be not so good.
Thanks,
