Since I used distilled water for this recipe, I added about 2 tsp Burton water salts to 2.5 gallons of the boiling water

Grains were steeped @ 155 F for 25 minutes. The grain sack was allowed to drain and the wort brought to a boil.
Once boiling, the W/M extract was added with the perle hops. Boiled for 30 minutes. @ 45 min. 1 tsp of Irish Moss was added. @ 55 min, finished w/ tettnanger hops. strained, sparged, cooled to 68 F.

Brewers Notes:

Want a refreshing wheat beer w/o having to lager? this is the one for you! i combined a kolsch recipe w/ a wheat beer recipe and it is delicious! this beer is golden brown in color and has a distinct sweet and bitter flavor. i can really smell the floral aromas of the hops but the sweetness of from the crystal malt and honey malt makes it very easy to drink.
enjoy!
