Big Mamma's Hungry Hefe

Decided to brew my first Hefeweizen, its' a 5 gal kit I ordered from Rebel Brewer. Figuring I was going to be working from home on Friday anyway with the upgrade in work, James had no school with the snowstorm. Why not brew it late Thursday night??

I hope this is the last time I decide to brew at midnight, no matter what night of the week, with sanitizing and cleaning, it's now a 3-3.5 job, started at 11:30 and finally finished up at 3 AM.

Pale straw color, classically cloudy, some clove and banana esters
and a tight creamy head. This is my first attempt at a Hefeweizen, and really looking forward to tasting this one, gonna be a great summer brew.


OG 1.051
IBU 15
SRM (color) 3
Alc. % 4.9

Cracked this open tonight and it came out REALLY good, will definitely be brewing this again, came out good to style, Pale straw to very dark gold in color. Mouthfeel is right there, medium-light to medium body, came out really good.

See for yourself.



Ok, I had more than one.
