Wyeast 3068 Weihenstephan Weizen™
Wyeast 3068 Weihenstephan Weizen™
Unique top-fermenting yeast which produces the unique and spicy weizen character, rich with clove, vanilla and banana. Best results are achieved when fermentations are held around 68F.
Notes
Steep specialty grains in 3 gallons of water at 154° F for 45 minutes. Remove grains and add dried malt extract. Bring to boil and add 0.66 oz. Willamette pellet hops. Boil for 60 minutes and add Irish moss. Boil 10 minutes and then add 0.50 oz. Fuggle hops. Boil another 20 minutes, add remaining Fuggles and remove from heat. Cool to about 70° F and transfer to fermenting vessel with yeast. Ferment at 64° to 68° F until complete (7 to 10 days), then transfer to a secondary vessel, or rack into bottles or keg with corn sugar. Notes: A lot of thing went wrong with this beer...Wrong yeast...Not correct malts for a Fat Tire Clone...followed a brewing schedule found online but ultimately the whole brewing process took WAY TOO LONG for my liking!!! I would shorten the process to the more typical schedule. Primary Fermentation in Plastic Bucket: 7 days --Fermentation started ~24hrs but not very vigorous...was what I would call more of a "rolling" fermentation --Transfered to secondary glass carboy --dry hopped --fermentation seemed to kick in a little more --Secondary Fermentation: 14 days --Bottled --Started carbonating after 1 week Tastes pretty good...a little more estery than would like. Good carbonation...beer is somewhat hazy...good dark amber...can detect a hint of the chocolate malt in aftertaste.
