I'm starting my first brew tonight. A honey wheat The guy at the brew shop told me to put half the hop pellets in 30 minutes in and then the rest at the final 60 min mark
If it were me, I would add .25 oz @ 60min (beginning of boil), .25 oz @ 30min. and .5 oz @ 1min. (end of boil)
Why not just make a full batch (5 gallons)??? You're doing the same amount of work making 2 gallons, and you'll only come up with about 3 6-packs worth of beer.
The more hops you put in @ 40 to 15 min, the more hop flavor you'll have.
According to what you've told me, with a final volume of 2 gallons you beer is going to have about 6.3% alcohol (which is high for a wheat beer). Is this what you want?
If you've got room, I'd make it a final volume of 2.5 gallons with the hops @ 60,30 and 1. That will get you closer to the style you want.
Ok, well then you're making a Hefeweizen. I would definitely leave out the honey and you'll end up with about 5.4% ABV, which is more appropriate for the style.
Good luck to ya! Don't let your first batch discourage you from trying it again. You'll make some mistakes along the way, but you'll get better at it.
