National Homebrew Day 2010 - American Craft Wheat


To celebrate National Homebrew Day this year, I'll once again pack all my stuff up and brew in the parking lot of Worm's Way (http://www.wormsway.com/missouri.aspx?t=store&AC=1). Worm's is sponsoring our efforts and I think that's really a superb way of promoting the hobby.

There are three recipes to choose from. http://wiki.homebrewersassociation.org/BigBrew2010
I've selected the American Craft Wheat.

4lb 10.4 oz. 2-Row Pale Malt (56.7%)
3lb 5.6 oz. Wheat Malt (40.9%)
3.2 oz. Munich Malt (2.4%)

Hops:
0.25 oz Simcoe pellets, (13% AA), first wort hop (FWH) addition

Yeast:
Wyeast 1010 American Wheat yeast

O.G.: 1.043
