Can anyone tell me some reasons for a wheat beer that tastes watery with a hint of flour? It's my second AG and held promise out of the fermenter but two weeks in the keg and its not what I had expected .
I think that the watery bit is the result of not a hard enough boil ,Not enough evaperation .
Wheatish beer
Starter: Microwave 200ml of water for 5 minutes
2.5 Teaspoons of LDME
Cover with foil
Cool in fridge
Pitch yeast Safbrew WB.06
Stir for two days at ambient temperature
Brew day:
Grain bill: 3.2 kg of pilsner malt
2kg of wheat malt
Dough in at 10.30 am 14 L
