Iron Horse (Ellensburg WA) makes a tasty "High Five Hefe" with ginger and honey. I think they are using a more American style wheat ale yeast, because I don't get big banana, clove, or tartness out of it.
I am interested in making something like it, and if anyone has any ideas for the recipe I'd love to hear it.
This beer does have the yeast cloudiness that I associate with a hef, though, so I am thinking WLP320. I was also imagining ~1 lb real honey, ~1 oz grated ginger, and ~8-16 oz honey malt. Bittering hops would be something like Hallertau, and no big late addition because I don't want hops to overpower the ginger and honey notes.
FWIW, I do have total fermentation temperature control.
It may be that this is my first AG batch and first kegged batch, so I expect a circus of errors!
