Style (BJCP): 
03B. Light Ale - American Wheat
Volume in US Gallons: 
1 gal
All Grain Ingredients: 

1 lb American Two-row Pale
8 oz Wheat Malt
6 oz (1/2 cup) Honey

@30 min 0.5 oz Hallertau hop pellets
@1 min 0.5 oz Hallertau hop pellets

1/2 pkt Ale yeast
1/16 tsp irish moss (optional)

All Grain Instructions: 

Heat 3 quarts of water to 170 degrees, add grains and steep for 45 minutes. Keep water temp between 145-155, stirring every 15 minutes.
While steeping (also known as mashing),heat 1 gallon H2O into another pot to 160F for sparging. At end of steep, pour grains through a strainer into another pot. (You can use a grain sack to hold grains, but make sure you load them loosely and rinse very throughly)

Sparing: slowly pour the gallon of H2O over the strainer or grain bag and let drip into pot. Discard grains.

Boil: Bring liquid (wort) to a boil. Set a 45 minute timer,adding hops according to schedule (above). Add honey at last 5 minutes of boil.

At end of boil, take off heat, cool to 70-80F degrees. Pour into 1 gallon jug (using funnel), adding clean water if needed to reach one gallon. Place cap and shake to aerate. Uncap and pitch yeast (1/2 pkt), attach blow off tube.
Should begin bubbling within 24 hours. When fermentation subsides (5-7 days), wait additional 5 days and then bottle.
Enjoy!

Final Gravity: 
1.012

1.048

24 IBU, SRM 3, ~5% ABV.

This is a very light-colored wheat ale, lightly hopped, with added honey for flavor and light body.

clarification on instructions and ingredients

So when do I add the honey?
And "8 oz Wheat Malt" wasn't in a bag. When would that go in and was it included mixed in the grain or left out?

Hi. Hopefully we already

Hi. Hopefully we already answered your question, but for the record: The malted wheat was mixed in with the rest of the grains, and the honey goes at the end of the boil (recipe updated).

How did your batch come out? Cheers, Jocelyn.
