    Does anybody have a recipe for a wheat beer please?

    I'm thinking of something similar to hoegaarden

    1.5kg liquid amber malt extract
    1.35kg light dry malt extract
    1.35kg wheat malt
    42g Hallertau hops
    9g \willamette hops
    1 tbsp gypsum
    ale yeast
    140g cane sugar, for bottle conditioning.

    Method.
    1. heat 3 litres water to 75c and add grains and gypsum. mash for 1 hour, maintaining temp of 65c
    2. strain out grains, pouring water into 2nd pot.
    3.Heat 2 litres water to 75c and use to rinse grains.
    4. add all the extract (liquid and dry) and the Hallertau hops. Boil for 30 mins.
    5. add willamette hops during last 2 mins of boil
    6. put 8 litres of water into fermenter and add ho wort. top up so that total volume is 23 litres. pitch the yeast when wort temp is 25-27c, cover and attach airlock.

            Oh yes (and before anyone asks, nice from sober). Very scrummy indeed. In fact I have been meaning to press you for the recipe.
