Apa

[Ross]

wheat works well in these pale ales but its not a little bit for foam reasons, what wheat gives is lightens the body and changes the mouthfeel, works really well for lighter style pale ales just freshing up the grainyness and lights up the overall beer.
I personally prefer them this way rather then the ones that are overly riddled with spec malt character.
Using a bit of wheat can increase the overall drinkablity.

A kilo in your average sized batch, no probs, makes a good beer, the german stuff seems better, the aussie stuff gets grainy, and earthy, dull even, and lacks the fluffy character but still does lighten up the malt character.

In no way needed in a APA but wheat can be used to make great drinker APAs'

Great advice B)

Cheers Ross
