Traditional hefe weizen recipe that uses: Multiple infusions; acid, protein, two saccharification rests; decoction; and fly sparge to create a thinner mash. To raise temperature add boiling water. Cane sugar for racking. This is my first attempt at brewing... ever. The base recipe is from themadfermentationist.com modified to work with what I have at home. I have a 7 gallon gatorade cooler, and 2 gallon kettle. So 1 gallon batch size which, honestly, I think is ideal for starting out. Doing this I'll get a thinner mash and may not even need to sparge.
