Rich’s IDK what I’m doing brew v2

Ok, so I might have jacked the first batch up a whole lot. Ended up scorching the mash and making gravy out of it. Did a little looking around the net and decided to go with what I was originally thinking and doing it in the mesh bag.  So this time around I hopefully did it right.

Ingredients:

  • 2 Cups Weyermann Pale Wheat Malt
  • 1 3/4 Cups Weyermann Bohemian Pilsner Malt
  • 1/2 Tsp of Hops German Hallertau Hops
  • Lallemand Munich wheat beer yeast

Brought water to 145 -/+2 degrees.  Steeped grains in Muslin mesh bag for 30 minutes. Removed grains and brought water to a boil(212 degrees). Added hops and boiled for 20 minutes. Cooled the batch and put it in the jug for fermenting, pitched the activated yeast into the batch. The color and consistency was much more appealing than the first IDK batch. Because I wanted to get this batch going I went to the local brewing supply store and picked up the yeast to do so. We will see how this batch turns out.

The end result of this beer was very light in flavor. I lightened the recipe from the original to keep the batch from turning into mush but I seem to have gone overboard. I will likely dump this batch, but hey that’s why I’m doing small batches after all!
