In a classic example of "everyone makes mistakes", I stumbled upon a thread on the Mr. Beer Forum discussing the
Noche de Luna recipe which reveals that using wheat yeast in this brew is merely a typo.
dwaynebutcher and I will move forward with our original recipes. I am, however, a bit disappointed that this was not caught by Mr. Beer earlier in the process. In the same forum thread over at MB, the Customer Service Representative also stated that the hops are U.S. Tettnang, "But we have stopped carrying them." Perhaps I have just had bad luck, but my personal experience with Mr. Beer has gone from "bad" to "worse" over the years. Ah well, there is no cure for frustration like a homebrew.
