Buffelweizen Brew Session

(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

Float trip Hefe, I'm going to add an ounce of orange peel and the about 1/3 ounce Perle at 5 minutes just to change this up a by adding a little orange note. Always a beer that everyone will drink and enjoy. Smooth brew day, mash temp was just a bit higher than planned, wort smelled and tasted nice, very light yellow in color, I pitched this with Munich Classic, my very favorite Hefe yeast and I'm kicking fermentation off at 64F and I'll raise it a bit as fermentation progresses until I get to 68. Took a reading today, gravity is a 1.008, beer looks great and tastes fantastic, even warm and flat. I'll bottle this in a few days. Final gravity 1.006 bottled today, ended up with 55 bottles of hazy, light yellow beer. Tastes nice and should be ready just in time.

Gravity Estimates

Based on boiling 7.25 gallonsliters at 1.044 for 60 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 1.00 gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.050.

You wanted an OG of 1.053. It looks like it will be under.
