Summer Super Wheat 2012
American Wheat or Rye Beer • Partial Mash • 5 gal
Tweak on Summer Super Wheat 2011 previously posted.I have made and mostly consumed this beer. It is a very drinkable summer beer. Not a true Belgian wheat in flavor, and not a light beer. Gets rave reviews from my brewing and drinking buddies.

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.
Notes
Additional 1 Tbs dried valencia orange peel to secondary. Used a 1qt. yeast starter made 24 hrs in advance. 2wks in primary and 2 wks in secondary. Mini-kegs.

Discussion
Best one of the three verisions of this I have brewed

This one is great, especially if you like wheat beer but don't care for the typical wheat ester flavors that crave lemon or orange slices. It started out as a Blue Moon clone based on the original Belly Slide Belgian White recipe from Coors Field and has evolved. This is most likely the final version for me.
