Yazoo hef

Weizen/Weissbier • All Grain • 6 gal

Hi there, Our hefe recipe is pretty simple, the yeast does the hard work. 70% pale wheat, 30% pale barley malt. Just a touch of IBUs, about 11 IBUs from Perle at the beginning. Use a true hefe yeast like WY3068, or Whitle Labs Hefe IV. Ferment at cooler temps - 64-68F for more clove. For homebrewing, remember that even if the surrounding air temp is 68F, the beer might be as much as 10 degrees hotter. Get a good temp probe and rig up some way to maintain temps, if you want a really clean and crisp hefe. If you can do an all-grain rest at 111-117 F for 20 minutes, you will enhance the clove phenol. The warmer temp you ferment at, the more bananna and bubble-gum you will get. WY3068 puts off a lot of bubble gum at higher temps if I remember right.
