Notes

Step-mashed grains in 2 gal water (with gypsum): 30 min @ 122; 15 min @ 150; 15 min @ 158. Added 2x3.3# Breiss wheat malt extract & 1 gal boiling water. Added Irish moss for last 15 min, and clover honey for last 10 min (of 1 hr total boil). Cooled to 75 in 10 min with counterflow wort-chiller, added to 3 gal spring water & pitched 1/2-gal yeast starter (begun the night before with 1c Alexander's Dry Extra Pale ME). Fermentation was visibile within 2 hrs of pitching. Primary: 7 days @ 70-75 in glass. Secondary: 7 days @ 70-75 in glass. Primed with 1.25c dry extra pale malt extract. This is a little darker than the style, and definitely more flavorful and with a bigger punch than traditional weissbier.
