This one was a big hit with everyone, including the hombrew weary, who imbibed it. Turned out a bit darker than the SRM listed here states (more like 8 than 4). Three mugs just because I'm not that fond of hefeweizens. Check out the brewblog at http://brewlog.zkdigital.com/index.php?page=brewBlogDetail&id=83&filter=all&pg=1
