Ingredients:

  • 4-pounds Wheat DME           
  • 1.4-pound can Alexanders Kicker
  • 1-pound wheat malt
  • ½-pound Munich malt           
  • 1-ounce Crystal hops (flavor)
  • 1-ounce Hallertauer hops (aroma)
  • 1 packet Danstar Windsor yeast (recommended liquid yeast: White Labs WLP320 – American Hefeweizen)
  • 1 muslin grain bag
  • 1 muslin hops bag

 

Procedure:

Put 1½ gallons of water into your brew pot, and raise the temperature to 165 degrees F. Place the cracked grains in a muslin bag, and drop them into the water – the temperature should drop to 155. Maintain 155 degrees F for 30 minutes. Remove the grains and bring the water to a boil. Add the extracts and flavor hops and set the timer for 60 minutes. After 60 minutes, turn off the heat and add the aroma hops, letting the wort sit (covered) for 4 to 6 minutes.

 

Add 3 gallons of chilled water to a clean and sterilized fermenter. Strain the wort into the fermenter, and add enough chilled water to bring the volume to 5¼ gallons. Add the yeast when the temperature falls below 80 degrees F.

                                                     

Primary ferment should last 4 to 5 days. Rack the beer into a second clean and sterile fermenter. Secondary ferment should last 10 to 15 days. Bottle after 3 to 4 weeks.
