Sa-Wheat Beer Night

All-Wheat Extract brew.

(all measurements are definitely approximate)

8 lbs wheat extract boiled in 2 1/2 gallons safeway drinking water for 30 minutes only
1 oz hallertauer hops added immediately upon boilage
0.5 oz saaz added after 20 minutes
0.5 oz saaz added after 12 more minutes, heat turned off

The recipe, out of HFD, called for 6.6 lbs extract. This is supposed to be a fruity, light, banana-clove german style weiss beer. Hefe-weizen is yeast-wheat. I'm planning a secondary fermentation where I will dry hop some more saaz (a definite no-no for the style, I'm told), and add some Irish moss to clarify this very syrupy-looking sweet stuff.
