Ingredients:
  • 6.0 lbs. wheat LME
  • 1.0 lbs. Wheat DME
  • Misc. grain from all-grain kit
  • 1.0 oz. Hallertau / Leaf (60)
  • Dry Yeast - Safale us-05

Notes:
- first time using dry yeast
- high attenuation with dry yeast
- all grain kit / picked up LME / used most of grain
- old wheat LME?
- first time using leaf hops

This was an ok beer overall, but didn't really turn out to style. I think I've brewed two beers now with wheat LME and I don't like it. Leaves a strange texture and I think it's the quickest of LME's to turn.



Leaf hops added to the boil
