Got a recipe from BrewersFriend.com I thought I would try out and maybe tweak later. A pale ale recipe I used Hefeweizen yeast to change this up and impart some flavors to. Using Magnum and simcoe hops. Part of a double brew day this was the second brew and we ran out of San Diego Super yeast. Had to use Hef yeast WLP 320. The flavor really threw us off track as a hoppy hefeweizen, but tasted great.
