Uberweizen

Post by OFallonBrent »

I tried to enter this into the online recipes, but the interface makes assumptions that conflict with this recipe. So here it is. I brewed this years ago and recreated the recipe from memory. I'm planning on brewing it again this summer.

This beer is based on information I gathered on a trip to Germany. A brewer was using 70% wheat in his weizen. In discussions about stuck mashes, he indicated that he used whole hops in his mash to replace the missing husks to prevent a stuck mash. I made the mistake of asking about rice hulls and got a quick "THAT'S NOT REINHEITSGEBOT!"

Anyway, I thought this was a great idea and decided to see how far I could go.

I brewed this 100% wheat beer and it worked like a charm. Best wheat beer I've ever had. As for the amount of hops in the mash, I just eyeballed it until I thought it looked good. Adjust the amount to suit your system.

DON'T TRY THIS WITH PELLETS!
