The hesitation to do open fermentation is understandable, given that its counter all the sanitation fears we read about. That said I’ve done open fermentations with all my Hefeweizens. The first one was forced by a brewing science course and I never turned back. Just throw a fine mesh brewing bag your fermentation vessel and when high krausen starts to slow, go ahead and install lid and airlock. The boosted ester expression is real.
Great Video AB. Your other Hefe vid is saved in my favorites as Hefe's are my absolute favorite. I haven't brewed a Hefe yet, so I lean on Tucher, Weihenstephaner, Paulaner, etc. I would, but sticking with the rudimentary IPA's and low complexity summer beers helps me to stay in my lane. I am not afraid of dumping a failure, just sticking with familiarity. October begins brewing season for me as spring and summer are far too demanding on the farm. Nice work. Cheers.

Related to the video: I had a Lemon Drop hefe at a local brewery recently. It was delicious. Makes me want to attempt one as well. Probably best to wait until I can keg though. Completely unrelated to the video: I passivated my Anvil bucket fermentor as you suggested on a previous comment I made (using Short Circuited Brewer's method as a guide). The difference is night and day. I can see a few spots (on the outside, where it doesn't matter) that I missed with the Bar Keeper's Friend, the rest is nice and shiny. I've only done two brews with that fermentor, and it was already showing signs of corrosion, so it seems the Anvil products really need this step.

Got a story. My 1st Hefe was brewed in about 5min. Dumped wheat DME, RO water, bit of gypsum/CaCl then made hop tea to about 125f/chilled/ added and pitched yeast. Of course all was sanitized. Gets better. After finishing, I was doing a home brew trade with a dude in Cali. He got on line and said it was the best Hefe he ever had. Was raving about it. It did turn out pretty good. When I told him how it was brewed, he wouldn't believe me. Ha! Full disclosure, I tried this 2 other times but never repeated the awesomeness of the first batch. You should try it! 😂

Hey Steve, loved the video! I am interested in how you calculated the ferrulic acid rest. Did you put in a calculated amount of boiling water or added it until you got to 113? I developed a Belgian Golden recipe with a multi-step mash but used BeerSmith to calculate my water additions. I ended up chickening out and doing a single infusion at 150F! I don’t recirculate (cooler mash tun). Cheers!

I have a plan to try a split batch of hefeweizen using....... bread yeast. From what I've read, the majority of yeasts sold for baking are Hefeweizen yeasts, and it would make sense given that fermenting with both can have lots of yeast in suspension. I think it could be interesting to do a split batch with that and see if it's true. Speaking of split batches, when I made my first hefeweizen I ended up with more wort than I expected, so I fermented the remainder with Opshaug kveik just to see how it would turn out. It was definitely not a hefeweizen, but it was delicious in its own way, more like a witbier, I almost preferred it to the main batch honestly.

Nice vid! One minor comment though, since you mention that yeast metabolises the 4-vinyl-guiacol (4VG) into a lovely clove characteristic. This not entirely true, because the yeast actually metabolises ferulic acid (a pronounced product from the ferulic acid rest) INTO the 4VG. The 4VG itself is the compound responsible for the clove characteristic.

decoction mashing doesn't take any longer than step mashing, which doesn't necessarily take longer than a "normal" single infusion ... you just can't dump malt in warm water and walk away to drink beer for an hour lol. 20 minute cereal cook (only needed if using unmalted grain) (bring ambient water and the unmalted grain up to boil and boil for 10 minutes) 25minute protein rest 120-125F (decoct 1/3 with 15 minutes to go, bring to boil over 5-7 minutes, boil until end of step) add decoction back, hold at 143-147 F for 30 minutes (decoct 1/3 with 15 minutes left, bring to boil over 5 minutes, boil until end of rest) add decoction back, hold at 155-160F or 10 minutes Lauter and sparge total time with 100% malt: 60 minutes With a cereal cook: 80 minutes I Think the myth that decoction "takes all day" comes from home/"Craft" brewers that use "brewing" as an excuse to sit on the back porch for an hour or two and justify their day-drinking... rather than brew beer. lol. I don't need to justify my day-drinking... I just do it lol Drinking while infusion brewing isn't the best way to be safe or consistent... but drinking while decoction mashing (shoveling 220-230F sugary porridge around) definitely isn't (once again, why so many people come up with excuses why they can't/wont do it)

@@TheApartmentBrewer i appreciate it, Steve. I think the takeaway is that once you change one variable, you're not going to know what the other possibilities could be unless you run tests on the permutations if the others.
ah, yes, the mythical ferulic acid rest!! Actually research suggests ferm vessel shape is more relevant than the f acid rest. So open ferment, and decoction mash, like the Bavarian beer gods would want you to!!
As south German, seeing you pouring this wrongly was painful to watch... Thabks for sharing anyways.
