Honey Wheat Style  

You will need:

•  1 Can Thomas Cooper Wheat 1.5kg
•  1kg Liquid Wheat Malt
•  1 Goldings Hop bag
•   US-05 Safale Yeast
•   500g Honey (Not Included)

 Procedure

1. Well before preparing recipe, place 5-10 litres of water in closed containers in a fridge and chill*
2. Steep Goldings Hop bag in cup of boiling water for 15 mins.
3. Dissolve TC Wheat, Liquid Wheat Malt and honey in the fermenter with 2 litres hot water.
4. Add liquid from Hop bag and put bag aside.
5. Add chilled & tap water to make up 23 litres at below 25° Celsius and stir vigorously.
6. Add US-05 Yeast, and stir in gently.
7. Tip in Goldings Hopbag then seal fermenter and store in cool conditions, preferably 18°C **
8. Bottle when SG stabilises around 1010 to 1012. (This should take around 10 days).
9. Allow to bottle condition and mature at least one month (preferably longer).

 Notes:

* Use sterilized containers with lids. Do not leave your fermenter to cool before adding yeast, as this increases the chance of an infection.  Use the chilled water to reach a satisfactory temperature and add yeast immediately. 

** Try to maintain a cool, even temperature in the fermenter, ideally 18°C. Place your fermenter next to brick or cement.  Place fermenter in a container, add some water, wrap it in a towel with one end in water, if the temperature is too high.  Use a Brewers Choice Brewing Thermostat and old fridge for optimum brewing conditions.
