Honey Weizen

[dean_wales]

Hi guys,

Scrapped my honey ale plans and going for a Honey Weizen. I cant decide whether to make it more continental or more American. I want it to be a refreshing easy drinker.

I have lent it more American so far. I have everything bar the yeast in stock.

What do you think?

Looks good to me 1010 is a good yeast for American style wheat beers, it also works good for alt.

I like your recipe.

As Rookie posted, Wyeast 1010 is a good yeast for this. It says on their web site, "dry, slightly tart, crisp beer". It occurs to me that this is pretty much the flavour profile of Nottingham too.
