Our club
(NBCBA) is doing a Hefeweizen contest in a month and this is the recipe that I’ve
brewed for it. It’s not to style with
all those late hops but I wanted to brew a Hefeweizen / American Pale-Ale
hybrid for the longest time. The
inspiration came from Le Castor’s Citra-Weisse and the idea is to take the
grain bill and yeast of a Hefe and use lots of late hops like an APA. I probably won’t win the competition but I sure
will enjoy this on hot days!
