On a whim today I went and bought a kit at Brew and Grow. It was a Brewer's Best Weizenbier for fairly cheap. I wanted something light and ready for May's summer awakening and the package sold me. If I get it going now it should be ready.
Though when I opened it up I didn't see any grains? Really? A wheat beer without grains to steep... something didn't add up. But after looking over the ingredient list sure enough it was the case. This will be too easy I thought so I went and bought 2lbs of honey to add to the recipe.
Initially I thought this would be an easy kit - and it was, but the water took forever to boil, 1hr 22 minutes to be exact. I easily could have saved time had I added hot water instead of cold to boil - lesson for next time.
All said and done I have a nice golden honey looking batch just ready to ferment. I had a sample and it tastes like the good soggy sweet milky leftover from an oversized bowl of Honey Nut Cherios. Tastey, I know. OG is sitting at 1.054.
