Based on a Hoffbrau beer I found in the supermarket. A dark beer with the normal clove/banana esters and a hint of chocolate from the roasted wheat. I really enjoyed it.

Mash for 60 mins at 67°C.
Sparge and boil for 60 mins. Chill to 17°C before pitching your yeast.
Ferment at 17°C with 2 packs of Mangrove Jacks M-20 Bavian wheat yeast.
After 3 days slowly raise the temp to 24°C to help the yeast reabsorb those diacetyl precursors and develop some esters.
Carb to 2.5 volumes and enjoy.
