Weyermann Wheat Stout

by dbmanager Wednesday March 9, 2011 @ 22:49 PM

We'll we've finally brewed it, the Wheat Stout.  It is made with 100% Weyermann malts from Bamberg Germany, Fuggle hops, and Fermentis 04 yeast.  50% of the malt bill is wheat malts, with the wheat producing the majority of color and flavor.  The other 50% is Weyermann Pale Ale malt.  I don't mind sharing the grist bill for this beer: 10% Chocolate Wheat malt, 10% Caramel Wheat malt, 30% Dark Wheat malt, and 50% Pale Ale malt.  One hop addition of Fuggle hops for bittering at an estimated 28 IBU's. It is a 15 plato beer so it should come in around 6.0% abv give or take. 

This was a fun brew.  Fun because my assistant Aaron was doing most of it, and doing a great job btw!  Expect to see it on tap in a few weeks.

Cheers,

 

Jason Oliver
