Simple Hefeweizen with a single stepped decoction mash. Mash at 1.5 qts per pound of grain (I use 15 quarts for this). Target IBU is 13, SRM is 3, ABV is 4.8%. Shamelessly ripped off from byo.com Harold-is-Weizen recipe found here (https://byo.com/article/german-hefeweizen-style-profile/)

Special Instructions

1.
Heat 15 quarts of water to 115. Add 12 qt to MLT. Add grain bill. Check temp. Adjust remaining 3 qts to get 110 deg.
2.
Mash for 20 minutes at 110. Pull about 1 gal for decoction. Heat to boil. Add back to mash. Targeting 152 deg. May adjust amount for future batches.
3.
While mashing, heat remaining 11 qts of water to 170.
4.
At 60 minute mark, perform Vorlauf process to set bed and clarify.
5.
Drain MLT to kettle. Continue draining while sparging with remining 11 qts to get final boil volume.
6.
Check pre-boil gravity, target is 1.04.
7.
Bring wart to boil. At 30 minute mark, add hops. Continue boiling for a total of 90 minutes.
8.
Check OG. Target is 1.05.
9.
Chill as rapidly as possible.
10.
At 70 deg, let it settle a bit then rack to fermenter and pitch yeast.
11.
Check final gravity at 1 week. Check again two days later. Target is 1.01. If the same, bottle.
12.
If using bottles, use priming sugar (5.5 oz) and use bottling pail. I rack to a pail, then draw off 2 cups of beer and mix with sugar before adding back to pail.
