With summer coming, it make sense to have another hefeweizen available. For this one, I chose WLP-300 yeast, as I was looking for something that would impart a bit of banana and clove, and this was the recommendation.
Brew Day: 28 May 2019
Partial Mash:
5 oz Munich
2 oz flaked wheat
Boil (20 min):
1 lb wheat DME
Hops: 14 g German Perle hops (@ 20 min)
Yeast: WLP-300
I followed all of my usual procedures.
Addendum, 10 June: Bottled today; got 7 good bottles and two 22 oz flip-top bottles.
Tasting Notes, 25 June: Opened one of the chilled 22 oz flip-top bottles tonight to share with friends. I can best describe this as a "proper" hefeweizen. Everything about it...the pour, the head, the effervescence and aroma, all the way through to the body, flavor and even the mouth-feel were all just right for a proper hefeweizen! Even my wife loved it, although ( a ) she REALLY loves the ginger Belgian, and ( b ) she wanted a slice of orange!
