Better than the Tuna

After 1 day of bottling the beer is carbonated and ready to go, no secondary ferment on this one and I sucked up a healthy ammount of yeast when moving from the primary to my bottleing bucket. As usual the hopps are a bit wierd and need to be given time to mellow. It has great body but not much wheat flavor which will hopefully mature with time. Would add more Perle next time to finish as the beer has little apparent hop nose to it. The yeast adds a nice traditional wheat beer flavor to it without it being overwelming. I'd say about 80% 1056 and 10% 3068 and 10% other, tart and crisp. At this point next time I would drop the Munich to 1 Lb and the White Wheat to 3 Lb. Color is exactly how BeerTools predicted. B

Just a question from a Noob

I thought it was a bad idea to use more than one yeast strain. Is this true or not?

No, I just used the Wyeast 1010. I was using the percentages to describe the flavor of the 1010 yeast. Traditional wheat yeast, IMO, can be too overwhelming and completely dominate the beer. The 1010 has some small character of the 3068 yeast but it mostly resembles 1056.

After a week

The beer is now fully carbonated and ready to go. The beer has a very apparent yeast nose which is very different and interesting. Bittering is perfect and spicy like planned. Still not much wheat taste to it but still very enjoyable. Has a good sweet edge on it which I would attribute to the Munich. The Perle is still hard to notice but you can just tell it is there. Majoy body on this one. Next time I would probably just use 1056

That's kind of vague. I'm kind of a loser so probably not. It gives your name when you comment on a recipie to the owner of the account, if that is what you are asking about.

Had a few Last Night

2007-08-17 11:23pm

I had several of these last night and had some major differences as to how they were served. 1st-Chilled and pored in a Wheat/Pilsner type tall glass and it tastes how it has been noted in the above posts. 2nd-Was chilled and drank directly from the bottle. This was intersting because the Perle hop nose was MUCH more apparent than from the glass. It was much more enjoyable. Though not much change from the grain point of view. 3rd- Was room temp from bottle. Which just tasted like rich warm beer that was over carbonated. -Duc
