Notes: (You can scale this recipe up or down to fit your needs, generally can cut the grain bill and hops in half with good results.)
Optional* for more "character" from the yeast use the White labs American Hefeweizen WLP320
This base beer great by itself but lends itself well to flavoring after fermentation.
Examples:
6 oz of Apple flavoring (1.5 bottles of Brewer's Best)
8 oz of Blueberry flavoring (2 bottles of Brewers best)
1 unsweetened packet of powdered lemonade for a shandy.
Experiment and enjoy!

Notes: Divide the grain into two equal parts and load one half into the mash tun. Mash in 1.5 qt/lb for a mash temp of 152F. Mash for one hour. Recirculate until wort runs clear and run off the wort. Sparge with just enough hot water to collect 4 gallons of wort.
Heat the wort back up to strike temperature. While that is happening, clean out the mash tun and add the remaining half of the grist. Repeat the mashing procedure and sparge to collect 6 gallons of wort. |
