Lemon Wheat

Knocked out the lemon Wheat for the summer this afternoon due to thunderstorms and good-ol desire. FG again ridiculously low. I guess it is the wheat?

5lbs 2 row pale
5 lbs wheat
1 oz Hallertau (used tettnang the last time, grabbed the wrong thing, go back to tettnang, more AA) 60
.5 oz Saaz Chech 20
.5 oz Saaz Chech 5
Zest of 1 lemon 5
1007 German Ale

3.25 Gals @ 162 for 60 mins
1.25 gals @212 for 15
Runoff
3 gals sparge @ 168


First runnings 1.040 hot, 1.052 room
Second 1.010 hot, 1.022 room
FG 1.044
Pitched @76

Kegerator out of CO2. Must check for a leak. No reason the 20# should have kicked on 5 kegs.

Didn't secondary this, after all, it's a wheat. Kegged 7/3/10 1.008. We'll see. Very light and refreshing, hint of lemon to the nose.
