1/2 ounce Halleteur pellet hops boiled for 12 minutes
1/4 ounce Halleteur pellet hops finishing
11.5 gram Fermentis Safbrew WB-06 yeast
Pitched at 65F and fermented at 65F
Directions:
Boil 2 quarts of filtered water

The results are in, the recipe and pellicle for my Weizen/Weissbier produced the best tasting most flavorful wheat beer I have ever tasted. That interesting lemon like taste at bottling, that not sweet but not sour flavor was still there and it somehow rounded out the taste of a really great beer.
Trust me on this one there were no lemons anywhere near this recipe let alone in it. The color, body, authentic Hallertauer hopping and carbonation level all worked together nicely making this recipe hands down the best beer I've ever brewed, so far.

Weizen and pellicle?
No expert at sour beers, but I thought pellicle was something that lacto bacteria made, and I didn't see any mention of adding any in the recipe.
You might say that's pretty....
wait for it

Screwy...
great looking glass. Im typically not that into wheat beers but a well brewed or should I say a well fermented weizen is prime.

brewchez, I didn't add anything to the recipes except wheat DME, honey and Hallertauer (German) hops. The pellicle was a gift from the beer gods and I've made every effer to repeat my original results by brewing 2 more identical batches.
