Gravity Estimates

Based on boiling {{CalculateBoilVolumeDisplay}} gallonsliters at {{CalculatePreBoilGravityDisplay}} for {{CalculateBoilTimeDisplay}} minutes, this will decrease your wort by {{CalculateBoilLoss}} gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to {{CalculateFinalGravityFromPreBoilGravity}}.

You were planning on an OG of {{RecipeSummary.Og}} so you are right on track. Nice job! You wanted an OG of {{RecipeSummary.Og}}. It looks like it will be over. You wanted an OG of {{RecipeSummary.Og}}. It looks like it will be under.

Tasted on 3/23/2013 by Browniebuck

Notes:

Pale, straw-like color. Moderately dense wheat haze. Definite banana esters. Some breadiness evident. Little hop aroma. Tart, citrusy, grapefruit like flavor. Some banana flavor with a small amount of hop presence in the finish. Finish is also dry but refreshing. Medium light mouthfeel, 'spritzy' and refreshing. A pale, light bodies, fruity and refreshing wheat beer.

Notes:

Straw colored, hazy wheat appearance as expected Banana esters, somewhat muted from the secondary but still present. Pleasant and fruity. Initial fruitiniess. I detect a citrusy, grapefruit like flavor, whether that's from the yeast or the hops I can't really say. Despite steeping 3 ounces of hops there's very little hop presence notable in the finished product. Carbonation is still low. Alcohol is noticed on the backside and not at all forward, doesn't mask any of the flavor. Very light with a touch of tartness present. A good refreshing beer. This beer has turned out as well as I thought it would. I have a slurry of the Weiheinstephan 3068 in the refrigerator in the hopes that we can do another wheat beer of some variation closer to summer. This is going to be a lot better once the carbonation hits the right leve.

Notes:

Cloudy, almost opaque upon racking to secondary Strong aromas of bananas and cloves from German ale yeast. Fruity esters, mainly bananas and clove, some noticeable hop bitterness. Light to medium light. This beer is coming along nicely for a four day old batch. I'll leave this in the secondary for a week or so and bottle around the first of March. I expect FG to be slightly lower after secondary is complete, just because fermentation seems to pick up ever so slightly when batches are racked off to the carboy.

Tasted on 2/16/2013 by Browniebuck

Notes:

Sampled post boil wort after cooled down to 80 degrees F. Initially dense haze. Hop trub settled out after serveral minutes and settled into the cloudy appearance expected. Strong honey aroma and floral, citrusy notes from hops Dominant sweetness from the honey with a notable bitterness from hops. After settling for several more minutes, hop bitterness was more subdued. Crisp but full. Initial impression is one of a sweet beer with dry finish and light body, some bitterness in aftertaste.
