It's been almost 2 years since my last batch, I can't believe so much time has already passed! So this will be my first brew in the East TN house. I thought I'd give wheat beers another try so I'm doing a weizenbier kit. I actually started the brew 3 days ago, and today I'm racking it to the secondary fermenter. The one major thing I did differently this time was instead of adding ice water to the brew pot at cool down time, I added room temp water and chilled exclusively with an Ice bath and immersion chiller. I was still able to go from 212 to 75 in ~10min. Hopefully it will make a positive difference in taste. Racking to the carboy went pretty smoothly, although the specific gravity was a little low for my liking, the formulas estimate this will only be around 4.2% alcoholic when done, I shouldn't have topped off to exactly 5 gallons when done the boil, from now on 4.5 should be my maximum. Also, this beer is pretty dark for a weizen, so it's probably closer to a Dunkelweis. Bottling in 2 weeks, Cheers! |
