Buffelweizen Brew Session

Hefeweizen for the float trip, always a crowd pleaser. Overshot my strike temp so I had to let the kettle cool a bit before the mash, lost more temp during the mash than normal, started 148.6 and ended 147, still got the extraction I was aiming for so I guess it's fine, beer is a nice straw yellow, perfect for a hefe, wort tastes fine, I threw in the last bit of the perle hops about 5 minutes before flameout, so maybe they'll be a hint of hop flavor in the finish. Last beer I'm brewing for the float trip, but it should be done in time to get a couple of weeks in the bottle before we drink it. The other beers are on schedule, I'll bottle the Irish Red in a day or two and then the Flower Power in a week or so, so it'll have 3 weeks in the bottle before the float. Bottled this 04/11/2022 ended up with 52 bottles of nice, straw colored hefeweizen. Tasted good, it's a crowd pleaser.
