My second batch of this recipe.

*** I Highly recommend this beer ***

This is the only beer that I can get my dad to drink that I have made. I am a hophead and he tends to not like many of my beers. He is a bigtime Corona drinker.

Here is the recipe info for the B52. I looked at B52 Wheat (5 gallon) first but he used Whitbread dry yeast in it and I didn't want to. In B52 Wheat (21 gallon) he used Wyeast 1056 so that is what I chose to use.

Grains:	Hops:
5.25 lbs. Schreier 2-Row 4.25 lbs. DeWolf Cosyns Wheat .50 lbs. Munton & Fison Crystal 60 .50 lbs. DeWolf Cosyns Carapils 1.50 lbs. Honey	2.05 oz. Hallertau Hersbrucker (2.9% pellet 40 min.) 1.20 oz. Tettnang (4.0% pellet 20 min.) 2.05 oz. Hallertau Hersbrucker (2.9% pellet 10 min.)

Water: RO water treated with Ken Schwartz's "other ale" water recipe.

Yeast: Wyeast 1056

OG	FG	IBU	Total Grains:(lbs.)	Efficiency:	pts/lb/gallon:
1.056	1.010	35.8 (Daniel's formula)	10.50 plus 1.5 lbs honey	86.9%	31.2

Notes:

Mash: 1 quart per pound at 150*F for 60 minutes.
Boil volume = 8.40 gallons
Post-chill volume = 6.75 gallons
I was shooting for 6.25 gallons but the extraction was better than I planned for.
I boiled this for 60 minutes total. Honey added last 10 minutes of the boil. 1 tsp of BreakBright added last 15 minutes. Primary in 6.5 gallon carboy at around 68*F for 1 week. Secondary for 4 weeks.
