Jose's Jalapeno Wheat

Mashed in at 6:45 a.m. with strike water temperature @ 169F for a mash temperature of 156F.  Batch sparged and headed to boil at 8:00 a.m.  Boiled for 90 minutes and measured OG is 1.050. ( Just a couple points shy of of projected, 1.052.)  The mash bill consisted of pale wheat, dark wheat, and pilsner malts from Weyermann.  I'll be using Fermentis T-58 yeast for its peppery/spicy phenolics, although with the jalapenos it is not very detectable.  Cluster hops for the earthiness/grassiness they bring to the party, also usually undetectable but harmonious with the brew.  IBU's are 27.  Will post again when racking to secondary.
CHEERS!
