Checked it after 12 days, already at 1.01 and tastes good.... Resisting temptation to keg early!
It's difficult as my pipeline's lean.

I'm glad you liked it!jeff62217 said:Started force carbing two days ago, a little early I know.. but man this beer is a winner. Citrus really comes through and it's light, extremely drinkable and delicious. This will be a staple in my brew recipe collection. Next time I'll try it with mouteka if I can get them. Thanks for the recipe Slim.
Yeast make this beer....read through all of the other people who out of necessity subbed out the yeast their first time, then made it with the right yeast the second time. My advice to anyone reading this recipe.....a lot of time was spent creating this recipe, a lot of people love this recipe, so shouldn't you see why before you change it?yeknom366 said:I'm thinking of making something very similar to this, but with a very different yeast - heady topper's Conan. Thoughts?
Too lazy to sift through 121 pages of posts, but I'll take your word on it... kind of. I think I *might* just take 1 gallon of it and ferment with Conan, and the other 4 gallons with WL Hefe IV. Just curious, were others just using different hefeweizen yeast strains or miscellaneous ale yeasts?
Slim is not shy about saying the Hops and yeast are the key ingredients in this beer and your depriving yourself if substituting in these areas.
Beautiful Beer!Doed said:This is one delicious adult beverage. I've made it several times now.
Glad you liked it!Hoon said:Pleasantly surprised at how "malty" it is, and not so much the wheat essence. A do again!
Would like to brew this one soon, but am having a hard time finding everything I need off of one site. Anybody know of a site where I can find both the hops and yeast for this recipe?

The description seems similar to sorachi so I think I'm going to go ahead and order everything from northern brewery. This day and age you wouldn't think it would be so hard to find all of the ingredients on one website...

Just to be sure on this, the recipe says it is a 6 gallon batch, that's excluding the lime aid that I will be adding on day 3 right? So I will end up with 6.5 gallons after adding 1.75L lime aid? Or do I shoot for 5.5gal wort after boil to put in carboy and add the half gallon of lime aid to make it 6 on day 3?

The vienna needs to be mashed in my opinion. Just do a mini mash with it if you really want it in there.
Yes the Vienna along with the other grains are important..... When I made this recipe, I did almost a hundred base variations before I settled on what I feel makes the best base for a flavored Hef....after that I experimented with hops, it took a little over 20 variations....and then I brewed the base and hops with almost every strain of yeast and 3 of my own strains.
So long story, simple answer....I took a lot of time to carefully balance this beer from start to finish, as the brewer you can and should feel free to experiment as much as you want...but in my opinion, it takes every part to make this recipe a great beer....but as the father of this recipe, I may be a little biased!
