Wellington Wheat
American Wheat or Rye Beer • Partial Mash • 5 gal
My third and best yet attempt at a wheat. Tart fruity and refreshing. Used only 1/3 cup corn sugar to bottle prime. Came out with a pleasent light carbonation with creamy head (I think due to the flaked wheat and barley)

White Labs WLP320 American Hefeweizen Ale
White Labs WLP320 American Hefeweizen Ale
This yeast is used to produce the Oregon style American Hefeweizen. Unlike WLP300, this yeast produces a very slight amount of the banana and clove notes. It produces some sulfur, but is otherwise a clean fermenting yeast, which does not flocculate well,

Discussion
Excellent summer time beer

had great success with this one. Great head and balanced flavors. I think it was the flaked barley too. Used 1 lb each of the flaked wheat and barley. I used dried orange peel and lemon grass (6 8 inch stalks) for my citrus notes. this gave the brew a nice earthy note to the citrus flavors. Next time I will add more lemon grass. I could taste it but would like to have a bit more.
