Well as the title suggests i screwed up my order and now have a sack of grain as per below:
11.75 Pale Wheat
2 Pils
1 Crystal 65
1 Vienna

It was supposed to be 11.75 pale malt but obviously i clicked the wrong button :blink: so I'm thinking instead of my double IPA i should be able to use this as part of a German Weizen or Dunkelwizen, does anyone think the 1 kg of crystal and 1 kg of vienna will change the profile much, especially now that this will only be about half the grain bill with the other half being pilsner.

Cheers
 
Is it a see through sealed plastic bag kind of sack?

I can usually see the layers of each grain addition. You may still be able to visually see part where it transitions to the wheat, well roughly I guess.

Might give you some more options if you can separate it.
 
Do you mean 1.75? You have two identical figures there :)
 
If you have other base malt, I'd be tempted to mix it all up and use 30%-50% of that with the additional base malt

If not, I'd go with Nick's suggestion and brew a DWIPA (or should that be WDIPA?)
 
Throw caution to the wind and brew something. Go on it'll be OK.

wheat yeast on what was ment to be a pale.. tastes ok and now i call it a "summer ale" hahaha

No its in a grain sack, I'm thinking ill just mix it all up and it will be fine :)
 
thanks guys, i don't think it will make much difference and I've been enjoying a few of Weihenstephans best lately so it might be time for another wiess.

Cheers
 
Never know, might be the greatest malt recipe EVA!!!
