Notes

Recipe is scaled to account for the size of my BK, 20qt. I normally add a gallon of water to fermenter after boil. Didn't want to dilute the wort too much so that is why the recipe is large for a wheat. Although I am hoping for 6.5 - 7.5 finish. BIAB partial: 1. Initial rest period water needed; 1.33 qt/lb of water x6 = 2 gal 2. First rest; water temp 147. rest for 30 min. Temp. should stablize to 135ish. 3. Raise water temp to 155 by adding 3.2 qts boiling water; rest for 60 min. (total water 11.2qts pre-absorption) 4. 2 gal sparge to 170; add grain bag for rinse and rest for 15 min.. 5. Add all back to BK; boil 60 min. 6. Follow hop schedule. 7. Late LME (15 min). Ferm. Sched. 2 weeks primary 2 weeks secondary. Add .25oz Saaz and 1oz. Cascade (pellet)

Brewed on Saturday

Brewed this on Saturday. I upped the grain bill to account for my BK but apparently I was experiencing a mild stroke at the LHBS, I forgot an ounce of Saaz for my 30 min. addition. That has been reflected in recipe. After full boil I had 4gl of wort @ 1.086, added 1gl and brought it down to 1.066. Fermentation took off after I added a brew belt, roughly 8 hours after pitching. It went bananas last night. Should be interesting. Will dry hop per schedule.

Drew a sample on Thursday, 3.31, its 7.0 and tastes like a belgian wheat. Needs to mellow a bit. A little hot alcohol finish.
