Just an update, it certainly did become hef-ish. It tastes pretty good, but obviously not what I wanted. I will definitely be trying this one again in the spring, this time with us-05.
This is a great quick simple recipe. One of my regulars.
CrookedTail, I was looking for a new recipe to brew this weekend and ran across your Honey Balz recipe. This is an old post so hopefully you're still out there.
What do you think about using WB-06 instead of the US-05???
Just brewed up a variation of this for a competition. All late hops.
Fermentables
5lbs Wheat DME
.5lb Honey Malt
1lb Honey (added @ flameout)
Hops
1oz Amarillo (9 AAU) @ 10min
1oz Citra (14.1 AAU) @ 10min
1oz Amarillo (9 AAU) @ 5min
1oz Citra (14.1 AAU) @ 5min
1oz Amarillo Dry-Hop
US-05 yeast
OG: 1.052 IBU:46
Just moved this to secondary a few days ago. Tastes like an IPA. Very nice if you're a hop-head. A couple of weeks will allow the bitterness to mellow, and it should be very good.

Hey CrookedTail, I like the looks of this recipe and I think I'm gonna try and make a 3 gallon batch, but I have some questions. I noticed that you didn't write down the temperatures for primary and secondary fermentation. And also, at what temperature do I add the first half of the extract and the first part of the Mt. Hood hops? In your recipe, it calls for wheat LME and I found some Briess Bavarian Wheat LME on Amazon, would that work? I also noticed that you also said to make a water and flour slurry if you want the beer to be more cloudy, I would like it to be more cloudy but I usually do both primary and secondary fermentation in the same carboy. Is the slurry even needed if you don't move to a second carboy for secondary fermentation, or would you recommend just transferring to a second carboy for this recipe?
Made this version month ago and just cracked first bottle. WOW! Soooo delicious!
Thanks alot for this recipe!
Just ordered the stuff I need to make this and I have a couple of question. This will be my first time using any grain and I'm not sure what temp to steep the honey malt at and what gravity do you normally carb this too?
