Honey Hefe v.2.0
Weizen/Weissbier • Extract • 6.0 gal
First attempt at a Weizenbier/Weissbier. I started with Charlie Papazian's The New Complete Joy of Homebrewing's "Lovebite Weizenbier" and added honey 15min before the end of the boil. Great banana and clove flavors from the yeast turned out an easy drinking, awesome tasting brew.

White Labs WLP300 Hefewizen Ale
White Labs WLP300 Hefewizen Ale
This famous German yeast is a strain used in the production of traditional, authentic wheat beers. It produces the banana and clove nose traditionally associated with German wheat beers and leaves the desired cloudy look of traditional German wheat beers.
Notes
Edited recipe for next batch. Reduced LME from 9lbs to 8lbs. Added .5lbs s of the Gambrinis Honey Malt. I'm hoping to add a subtle honey taste with the banana clove. I'm also going to increase the honey to 1.5lb

I'll be brewing this again for sure. Nice banana overtones and subtle honey flavor is present.
