From reading the brew day post,<\/a> the second attempt at a hoppy american wheat took a few unexpected turns. I struggled to get the wort out of the kettle after boil, this being my first time brewing with whole hops, and fresh hops. The recipe itself is super simple, dme and hops, and a big dry hop dose. Ultimately I\u2019m trying to replicate three floyds gumball head I was aiming for a light bodied, very aromatic, hop flavored beer. I ended up with a very light bodied, astringent, chlorophyl flavored beer, with tons of dry hop aroma. \"IMG_1994\"
\nThe beer is very clear with a small head, it\u2019s slightly over carbonated right now, but at 11psi it was pouring great. I dry hopped this beer with Citra and Cascade in the keg this has certainly improved the beer with time. The hop aroma is about where I want it, though, I wish it was more tropical. I worried about extend exposure to the hops, but it hasn\u2019t caused any problems. I used a hop bag, and floss to hang the bag from the gas in post.
\nThis was a beer I rushed to dry hop and carbonate to bottle for a competition, and I\u2019ve got a post coming up on entering competitions. When it was bottled young, it tasted very astringent, and grassy. While it did age ok, it\u2019s still very astringent and not where I want it. \"IMG_1996\"
\nAt least the color is where I want it.
\nSo for next attempt at 2AM maiden, I\u2019m going to do the following.
\nThis is going to be all grain, brewed with 55% american wheat, 37% pale, 8% Crystal light. Moving away from single hopping this beer, I\u2019m planning on hop bursting, with amarillo and cascade, and dry hop with citra and centennial. Goal to increase the fruitiness, and hop flavor, and lose some of the bitterness.<\/p>\n

Update: The remainder of the Keg was dumped. It just wasn\u2019t going to get consumed. It was astringent, and getting worse, not better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
