Cara-Pils® Malt; Briess
Cara-Pils® Malt; Briess
Characteristics & Applications: • The endosperm is completely glassy and will appear to be darker than standard Brewers Malt. • Carapils® is a very unique dextrine-style malt that adds body, foam retention, and beer stability without influencing color or flavor. • Use to upgrade all types of beer, including light colored beers. • The non-fermentables in Carapils® are very advantageous in balancing body and flavor of dark colored beers. • May be used with or without other specialty malts. • Low usage of 1-5% will help achieve desired results. • Produced from AMBA/BMBRI recommended 2-Row Malting Barley varieties.

Neutral, malty flavor. Characteristics & Applications: • CBW® Bavarian Wheat (Powder) is a dry, 1000% pure malted barley extract made from a blend of base and wheat malts. • CBW® Bavarian Wheat can be used in the production of extract wheat beers, and in the production of all grain beers to adjust color, flavor and gravity of wheat and other styles of beer. • Advantages of using extract in a brewhouse include: o Extends the brew size by adding malt solids to the wort. o Adds wheat characteristics without the added inventory of bags of grain, additional handling and processing, etc. o Adds wheat characteristics without slowing the lauter. • Briess Malt & Ingredients Company is the only vertically integrated malting company in North America.

Ultralight Extract (MoreBeer); Alexanders
Ultralight Extract (MoreBeer); Alexanders
By the pound. Made for MoreBeer! by Alexanders this extract is 100% made from Great Western 2-row malt. It is the lightest malt extract available. This is the malt extract that we use as a base for most of our ingredient kits, from Pilsner to Imperial Stout. It is made locally in California's Central Valley and is often only a few days old when we receive it. It never lasts longer than a few weeks in our shop, where we package it in nitrogen flushed jars. Does fresh extract make a difference... decide for yourself! We recommend customer's to store there extract in the refrigerator if they do not plan on using it after 3-4 weeks. Make sure you thaw out your extract a week before you brew. Cheers!

Fermentis S-33 Safbrew S-33
Fermentis S-33 Safbrew S-33
A very popular general purpose yeast, displaying both very robust conservation properties and consistent performance. This yeast produces superb flavour profiles and is used for the production of a varied range of top fermented special beers (Belgian type wheat beers, Trappist, etc.). Sedimentation: medium. Final gravity: high. Also recommended for bottle-conditioning of beers. Excellent performance in beers with alcohol contents of up to 7.5% v/v but can ferment up to 11.5% v/v.Pitching instructions: Re-hydrate the dry yeast into yeast cream in a stirred vessel prior to pitching. Sprinkle the dry yeast in 10 times its own weight of sterile water or wort at 27C ± 3C. Once the expected weight of dry yeast is reconstituted into cream by this method (this takes about 15 to 30 minutes), maintain a gentle stirring for another 30 minutes. Then pitch the resultant cream into the fermentation vessel. Alternatively, pitch dry yeast directly in the fermentation vessel providing the temperature of the wort is above 20C. Progressively sprinkle the dry yeast into the wort ensuring the yeast covers all the surface of wort available in order to avoid clumps. Leave for 30 minutes and then mix the wort e.g. using aeration.

Not to bad for my first Recipe

Did the WB-06 give you any clove or banana as a hefe type yeast should? I used it in a Weizenbock once and it did a decent job. I've also used the Danstar wheat and got somewhat decent results with that. For Hefe I have found the wyeast or white labs hefe strains to be spot on. What temp did you ferment at? Also- I tried the s33 years ago with a Saison and got more of something in the lines of a Trappist ale

This was my first experience with making a Hef. I have only had a few in the past, but from what my local fellow brewer and beer drinkers tell me it turned out perfect with Wb-06.
