American Honey Wheat

New brew on Friday went well. Learned some things about my setup that need to be addressed for my next brew, specifically that my mash tun needs hotter water in order to heat up the vessel to ensure the proper holding temperature.

Here is the recipe for the Honey Wheat:

• 3 lbs Pale Ale Malt
• 3 lbs Wheat Malt
• 0.5 lb Carapils Malt
• 0.5 lb Aromatic Malt
• 3 lbs Wildflower Honey
• 1 tsp Gypsum
• 1/2 oz 8.0 alpha Northern Brewer (60 minutes)
• 1/2 oz 3.6 alpha Fuggles (15 minutes)
• 1/2 oz 3.6 alpha Fuggles (end of boil)
• Hefe IV Yeast

Because the temperature for the mash was a little low, the starting gravity was also a little low.
