Today we kegged the honey wheat beer, and from the small samples i tried I am very pleased with it. Only possible problem was there was a bit of stuff that could have been mold floating at the top, but we were able to keep that out of the keg (we are not exactly sure that it was mold though). Also, I was very impressed with the performance of the Irish Moss, at first I was quite skeptical about it seeing that I cannot imagine a teaspoon of grains clarifying a beer, but I was proven wrong. It ended up with a final gravity of 1.004, which left us with an alcohol content of 6.23% alcohol, which seems a little high for a wheat beer, but considering that we added so much honey I can understand it. As for taste, it is hard to tell as of right now since when the beer carbonates it really brings out the true flavors, but it seemed like a good solid wheat beer with the honey providing a good background flavor. We also realized our issues with kegging from last time (it ended up we conditioned and force carbonated), so we hope that this beer will have beer CO2 levels then our Stout, which although was amazing was a bit to carbonated. As for the look (pictures below), I kinda wished it was a bit lighter, but what are you gonna do...and the aroma seemed good...enjoy the pictures, in about 2 days i'll post final thoughts once i have it in it's full glory.
This here is a picture right before we took the final gravity. unfortunately in this picture it is hard to see the clarity, but you can easily see through it.
Here is when we were racking it, just thought you might want to see this...party on
