Lemon Hefeweizen
American Wheat or Rye Beer • All Grain • 5 gal
Brewed on 7/22. My first all-grain batch. Murphy's law in full effect. My thermometer was off - read about 10 degrees high. Didn't realize it until the boil (read 220F!) unusual for a mercury thermometer... Gravity of the wort was way low - 1.026, so I added some amber extract I had laying around (about 3/4 lb). OG was 1.042. Everything else went as usual. Hope next batch goes smoother with my new thermometer!

Yields a slightly higher extract than Six Rox brewers Malt. Tends to give a smoother, less grainy flavored beer. Some brewers claim they can detect a significant difference in flavor. Lower protein and will yield a lower color than Six-Row Brewers Malt

White Labs WLP300 Hefewizen Ale
This famous German yeast is a strain used in the production of traditional, authentic wheat beers. It produces the banana and clove nose traditionally associated with German wheat beers and leaves the desired cloudy look of traditional German wheat beers.
Notes
Step mash - protein rest at 122F, then sacch at 154. The lemon zest is in the mash - actually zest from three lemons. 60 minute boil.

Discussion
Bottling day - Bohemia sucks!
2007-08-05 2:00pm
Bottled on 8/2. More Murphy's law! We experienced a heat wave and the fermenter reached 78F in the closet - blew the airlock with banana smelling foam. I was afraid the beer was going to be awful, but my fears were unfounded, as I sampled after reading the final gravity (1.010) and it is great! Primed with 200g of honey. After cleaning 50 bottles, I found out the hard way that Bohemia bottles (about half of my clean, sanitized bottles) won't work with my capper. Luckily I had some bottles with foil left on them from my last batch, some of them 22 oz, and quickly sanitized them (one by one as I bottled) with the Star San the bottle caps were in. Managed to squeak out all of the beer into bottles. Really an interesting flavor. The Amarillo hops are excellent, and the beer has a faint lemon scent. Can't wait to taste in a couple of weeks!
