Use of wheat in grain bill

[jzabski]

I am planning a light coloured apa and want to use wheat for some of the grain bill. With 4 kg pale malt and 1.5kg wheat how much rice hull should I use to stop it gumming up? I have a Braumiester clone so I am a little limited to the size of the grain bill and they are obviously quite susceptible to wort fountains if gumming up occurs. Please help as I have never used wheat before so I am keen to get this beer bubbling this weekend.

I'Ve made Hefeweizen's and Pacific ale clones which have 30-50% by weight wheat with no issue on my genuine BM.

Do you add rice hulls or anything to stop it gumming up?

I've made 60% wheat beers without the need for rice gulls. Granted I don't use a BM but at the amounts you're talking about using I can't see it being a problem.
