hop schedule for a hefe-weizen

Wed Mar 22, 2006 5:59 am

Any suggestions for a hopping schedule for a traditional hefe-weizen? I have seen some recipes only call for a 60 minute bittering addition, while others call for flavor and aroma additions too. I have 2oz of tettnanger leafs and 2oz of halertau pellets to work with. For a 5GAL batch I was thinking at the most I was going to use 1oz for bittering, but what about for flavoring and aroma? I imagine if anything, these two additions would be small. Thoughts?

Thanks,
Kevin

I use about 16 IBUs of tettnang, hallertaur, or Mt. Hood at 60 min and that's it. Never felt the need to add any later hops because this beer should be all about the yeast and wheat and not the hops.

I usually do 1/2oz hallertauer at 60 min and 1/2oz at 30 min
I ONLY use Hallertauer... but YMMV
