Hi Guys,
I need some help from the wise heads here. Being Summer I like to have a Hefe in the fridge for sipping, however I have made this same Recipe 3 times now and each time have struggled with hitting my expected numbers with GIB 7 - 8 points low on each occasion. (Expected GIB 1.041 achieving around 1.034)
The Original Recipe is from Brewing Classic Styles so has integrity and should be relatively easy to follow as there's not much to a Hefe.
this is the Recipe from BCS -
Harold-is-Weizen
(5 gallons/19 L, all-grain)
OG = 1.049 (12 °P)
FG = 1.012 (3 °P)
IBU = 13 SRM = 3 ABV = 4.8%
Ingredients
4.85 lb. (2.2 kg) Great Western wheat malt (2 °L) (or similar)
4.85 lb. (2.2 kg) Durst Pilsner malt (2 °L) (or similar)
2.68 AAU Hallertau pellet hops, (0.67 oz./19 g of 4% alpha acids) (60 min.)
Wyeast 3068 (Weihenstephan Weizen) or White Labs WLP300 (Hefeweizen Ale) yeast
On each of the Hefe brews my GIB and subsequently OG have been way off that as predicted. I dont know if I should expect a lower efficiency for Wheat and have to make some type of adjustments to Section Y? Or something else is the culprit.
Every other recipe I have transcribed from BCS has been pretty much Spot on but for whatever reason this Hefe has my stumped. I cant work out what I am doing wrong and why I am regularly so far off. Once possibly my mistake but 3 times now it must be something common.
BIABacus attached
Cheers
