American Wheat


I want to do an American Wheat beer for the summer. So far I have centenial .5 Oz @ 60
mins, cascade .5 Oz @ 15 mins and 5 mins, for my hops schedule. This gives me an IBU of
about 24.1 I cannot figure out what yeast to use to compliment the fruity flavors of the
hops??? This will be my first attempt at all grain and I also DO NOT want the wheat
bitesometimes associated with wheat beers. If you can imagin a fresh fruity version of Sam
Adams Hefe thats what I am going for...

My Grain Bill looks like this but I am working on it

4.5 lbs of German Wheat Malt
3.75 lbs of Pale Malt
1.0 lbs of Flaked Wheat
.5 lbs of Munich
.5 lbs of Carapils
.5 lbs of Rice Hulls

PS. I took the bill from iamjonsharp in the wheat beer recipe forum, but its slightly modified.

Estimated OG 1.056

Just looking for some critiques and a possible yeast for this beer???
