Papazian's Lovebite Wheat Beer

This recipe if from Charlie Papazian's "New Complete Joy of Homebrewing", page 192.

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds Wheat Malt Extract
  • 4 pounds Light German Malt Extract
  • 2 packages Red Star Ale Yeast
  • 1.0 oz Hallertauer (boiling) hops

O.G. 1.041
F.G. 1.014

Method

Add malt extracts and boiling hops to 2 gallons of water, and boil for 1 hour. Put 2 gallons of water into a 5 gallon carboy to act as a temperature shock-barrier, sparge the wort from the brewpot into the carboy, and fill the rest of the way up.

Pitching

The initial pitch of the Red Star showed no activity after a few hours, so impatient me pitched with 2 packages of Paul Arnauer Bottom Fermenting Yeast. Of course, at the time I had no idea that I was using a Lager Yeast and and Ale Yeast.
