Hefeweizen – Grain to Glass brewed on a Grainfather – Part 1 of 2

Hefeweizen / Weissbier – Grain to Glass brewed on a Grainfather – Part 1 of 2 This was the last time my Grainfather actually worked without issues before deciding to replace it with an Anvil Foundry. I had to use up 3 lbs of Wheat extract I got for cheap during the holidays.

Hefee Recipe: – 5.1 % abv – (1.052 OG (What I hit was OG of 1.049 with an FG of 1.010)) – 14.4 IBU

3 Lbs Wheat LME 2 3/4 lbs Pilsner
12 oz Cra-Pils
8 oz Carahell
6 oz Acid Malt
4 oz Honey Malt
1 oz Hallertauer Hops 3.8% alpha acid at 90 mins
Whitelabs WLP 300 Hefeweizen Ale yeast
0.8 tsp of Amylase to help the LME
0.5 tsp of Wyeast yeast nutrient

Mash steps (I treated it like real wheat so the 112 could be skipped and the 122 F if you don't like your beer as dry as I do but your abv might end up closer to 4.5%)
112 F for 20 mins
122 F for 20 mins
148 F for 20 mins
Mash out at 168 F for 10 mins
