With all of the dark, strong and sour beers I have been brewing recently, it was time to make something light and easy drinking. After tossing a few ideas around I decided to make some honey wheat beer.
Recipe (10 Gallons)
10# Rahr 2-row
5# Wheat malt (Local shop didn't have enough of one kind, so I used white and red)
2# Wheat flour
3# Orange blossom honey added at the end of the boil.
1oz Zythos hop blend (60)
1oz whole homegrown Cascade hops (15)
2 packs US-05 dry yeast
Mash:
Protein rest 10 minutes at 122F
Sacc rest 50 minutes at 152F
Notes:
Brewed 12/2/12 OG=1.051
I took a chance mashing so much wheat with no rice hulls, but with the protein rest and a thin (1.5qt/#) mash, I didn't have too much trouble sparging. I boiled 9 gallons down to a little over 7. At the end, I topped off with 2.5 gallons of bottled water, giving me 10 gallons in the fermeters.
