Rolf the Bavarian

Weizen/Weissbier • All Grain • 5 gal

Petey

Using what I have lying around to make this guy, I grew up some yeast from a bottle of Bavarian Weisse that isn't imported to the US as an experiment. The Wheat is Weyerman Light Wheat I only have about 4 lbs of wheat on hand. The hops are probably gonna be a 50/50 single addition. ....Snow day brew session.
