wheat beer #1

wheat beer #1


One of my next beers I wanted to make was a wheat beer in the style of Hoegarden. I had previously tried out this style earlier this year (see here). This beer was nice enough but it was so alcoholic and sugary that it was near-impossible to enjoy drinking it. This next beer was an attempt to rectify this. 

To improve upon the last recipe I made some alterations, namely in reducing the amount of input to bring down the OG. I also simplified it a bit and took out unnecessary carapils and wheat whole grains.  The recipe was altered so as to allow 4.5 litre brewing.
