Category: Wheat Beer
Recipe Type: All Grain
Grains:

7.75 lbs mix of 66% malted wheat extract and 33% barley
1 lbs crystal malt (steeped, removed before boil)
1 lbs amber unhopped dry malt extract
Hops:

1.5 oz Kent Goldings hops (5.6% alpha) (60 minute)
.5 oz Kent Goldings (10 minute boil)
.5 oz Kent Goldings (5 minute boil)
.5 oz Kent Goldings (in strainer, pour wort through)
Other:
.5 oz Irish moss (15 minute boil)
.75 oz Burton water salts

Yeast: 2 packs Doric ale yeast (started 2 hours prior to brew)

Procedure: My primary ferment started in 1 hour and was surprisingly vigorous for 36 hours. It
finished in 48 hours. It has been fermenting slowly for 5 days and now has stopped blowing CO2
through the airlock at any noticeable rate (less than 1 bubble every 3–4 minutes).

I took a hydrometer reading last night and it read 1.018. This seems high for a F.G. in comparison to my
other beers of the same approximate S.G.

The last 1/2 ounce of hops was put in a strainer in a funnel and wort strained through it on its way
to the carboy, as described in Papazian. A blow-off tube was used.
