[Tony]

GT... I have considered doing that high but have been a bit aprehensive. But that was before i had rice hulls

might give 70% a go. what the hell

JAz..... I havnt tried them before........ what do you mean by harsh.

or hallertau?

cheers

 

[wee stu]

But that was before i had rice hulls

nasty , hope it clears up soon :blink:

 

[Tony]

[Tony]

68% wheat malt and about 10 liters (1 kg) of rice hulls.

added some cryatal wheat for a dry crystal hit to the flavor and some carafar spec 1 for a nice amber colour.

also changed the hops. will give these nelson savin hops a go mixed with my fav hop. hallertau.

cheers

AndrewQLD,

On the Syrup sub-thread...

I've been drinking a Wheat I brewed about a month back that's been great - basically sat it on 500g of frozen peaches in the secondary for 2 weeks. Magnificent! Next time I'll probably try adding a bit of ginger into the mix, and probably go a bit heavier on the hops to balance the sweetness.

[wee stu]

this is my amended recipe


also changed the hops. will give these nelson savin hops a go mixed with my fav hop. hallertau.

might want to change it to an ANZUS wheat, Tony. The Yankee influences is being muted by all those Kiwi hups :lol:

 

[Coodgee]

hi guys, here is my American wheat. I only brewed this beer because I got the itch to brew and couldn't wait for my internet delivery to arrive. I went down to the LHBS and they only had wheat and munich malts. hence this recipe. Tettnang was added as a first wort hop addition. thought I would give it a go. went with a noble german hop to help with the subtlety of the bitterness. I'll let you know how it turns out.
