WHEAT-EES Hefeweizen

Procedure
This was my second all grain. I milled the grains at the store and used Nick's lauter tun to extract the sugars. I did a 90 minute boil with my new large 8-9 gallon pot on the burner. I did the hop additions as specified in the directions. I was not able to fit all of the sugar water in the pot, but as it boiled down I added more to the pot. Eventually 9 gallons boiled down to 4.5 gallons of wort. I have video and pictures up on this previous post describing how active this beer was during primary fermentation.

The Name

(the label)

I enjoyed making this label. When looking for clipart for wheat, I kept running into Wheeties box pictures, so I decided I would do my own version. Instead of an athlete, like the cereal, I have a picture of some old farmers drinking some beer. I claim they are German farmers, but no one believes me.

Review
This is one of my favorite beers I have made. I think it is a very accurate and tastes like a German brand such as Paulaner. It is a nice light summer beer, that was refreshing every time I had one. In fact I was very reluctant to distribute this one, because I wanted it all to myself! I only will drink it out of my proper wheat glass, so I get the desired appearance, head and aroma.
It has a great cloudy appearance.

In tastings, other people have not rated this as highly as me. That being said, most people that have tasted the beer don't drink a lot of wheat beers, so it may be a bit out of the norm. Also, when people have tasted it, they are comparing to my other offerings, which have a much stronger taste. It also tasted different than most American Wheat beers.

I will post other reviews soon.
