- The 1st brew I did it had 5 lb Pale Wheat, but I actually used 4.5 of White Wheat to reduce grain for low Hop IBU. - The 1st brew also had Batch Size at 4.4 and Eff at 76 which had a OG of 1.050 and 14.9 IBU. - After 3rd brew of Saision I adjusted this to 5/84% (Ending Kettle Eff) to reflect actual 1.048 OG. I poured the entire kettle thru bag into Ferm. Jamil is 15 IBU...which is at 1oz at 4.0; however, my Hallertau is only 2.7 so it drops so I bumped up hop boil time to 75 mins and will reduce grain bill. Pale Wheat (DE) - BH - Wheat.Weyermann Pale Wheat 2L - 2.59 Munich (DE) - BH - Munich.Great Western Munich Malt 10L - 2.29 or Munich.Briess Bonlander® Munich Malt 10L - 1.99 CaraMunich (BE) - BH - Carmel.Weyermann CaraMunich Type 2 42-49L- 2.09 Carafa II (DE) - BH - Dark.Weyermann® Dehusked Carafa® II - 375-450L - 2.59 Comment on Weyer Pale Wheat (since it is primary % of grist): I too do a protein rest at 133 with this malt. The main reason to do a protein rest at 122 is to produce more amino acid (a yeast nutrient) that undermodified malts lack....it is helps with the production of FAN (free amino nitrogen). Weyermann malts aren't undermodified, so you can do the protein rest at 133. That will make sure excess protien degredation won't occur.

Tasting Notes (1)

Brewer 111053

Tasted on 2/9/2017 by Brewer 111053

Notes:

Settled on 14 PSI and 39-40 temp. Very nice taste with subtle banana/clove balance. Nice aroma and head retention. Next batch will bump Ferm Temp up by 1 or 2 to get a tad more banana.
