The little Hefeweizen that did!

Success!

This is one good brew. Tastes of banana and clove. Just like a German Hefeweizen should. Very reminiscent of a dunkleweizen with more of a yeast profile. Very good if I do say so myself. It still tastes a bit young, but should be full of flavor by this weekend!










OK, so here's the setup that I have now:

Not pictured is the CO2 tank sitting outside the fridge. I ran the gas hose from the regulator into the fridge following the water-in line for the water dispenser/ice maker.

Here is the keg inside the fridge with 5 gallons of goodness inside!













Up next: I hope to be brewing a pale ale this Saturday!
