As we are coming into summer, I need to have a beer that’s just for swilling out in the heat.
One of the best beers I’ve had for that was Horney Goat wheat. I wasn’t even a fan of wheat beers when I first had this. But since then it’s been one of my goto beers when the Mercury hits 90.
I didn’t look for a clone, I just took my old American wheat and changed the hops. Wanted to get a little german feel to it.
Weissenberg wheat. 5 gallon
4 lb 2 row
4 lb wheat
4 oz 20L
.25 oz magnum 60
1 oz Spalt 15
1 oz Spalt flame out
Muntons yeast. (Boycotting 05)
Mashed at 150
Just to try something new I put my biab bag into the mashtun instead of wrapping the manifold.
Worked quite well I must say. I was expecting some stuckage with the wheat. But i had no problems running wide open. If it ain’t sticking with 50/50 wheat,,, it ain’t gonna stick in a normal batch.
I believe I will be doing this from now on.
These wheats are quick turn around beers, so should be ready for that first heatwave.
