Subject: now what?


ok i'm VERY new at this. i've got 3 batches under my belt. literally. i'm
looking for an easy, somewhat original, 5 gal. recipe that i could enjoy
during christmas. a wheat maybe. i like the sam adams type a lot but i
don't want a clone ( i can get sam at the store).any sugjestions? i have a
supply of ingredients close by but the guy isnt very helpful, seems like the
type that hes better than everybody around. he did, however, say he would
convert grain and extracts for me. any help would be greatly appreciated.
t/y

I would go for a German style Hefeweizen. It's the easiest and cheapest
recipe you can do and is always a favourite.

I only do all-grain so i'm sure you'll find a good recipe on the above
websites.

Simple Hefe

6 lbs wheat DME 55/45 mix
4 oz. german munich malt steeped 30 mins
1 oz. hallertau Hersbrucker or similar hops 1 hour
Wyeast 3068

I make it all the time. Very crisp refreshing wheat beer and cheap to boot.
