American Wheat Recipe Number 2

Description:

No.2 came out well so I made another batch with different yeast and some more hops.It is not as dry or as light as No.2 but it is still good. This has a slight American Lager taste,which is ok,if you like that sort of thing. Personally,that's not for me.The head retention was great.

5 gallons

7 lb. American 2-row
1 lb.Wheat
1/2 lb.Flaked maize
2 oz.Tettnang pellets
1 oz.Fuggles whole leafs hops

Looks good!
Next batch, send some to a local or not so local competition to get some very good feedback.
I'm a Recognized BJCP judge and just love having a great example of any beer style. To learn more go to www.bjcp.org and look at the style guidelines to find out more about each beer style. Brew longer, and you'll want to judge so you can make better beer and then to decide to open your own brewery. Check out my friend Patrick Rue's endeavor at www.thebruery.com .
