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-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.
