You could but I don't know if would a low enough FG on it. But just add Wheat DME till you get your OG.

2. Any worry on bottling this? I know some bugs can pick up enough oxygen during the process to blow when bottling.
3. What is you yeast of choice?
I would says that it's 4 week till bottling but after that it's like any other beer. Two weeks in the primary and secondary. No I wouldn't worry about the bugs picking up the O2 since they don't create alot of CO2 when doing their thing. I used German Ale yeast since it's fairly neutral.

Bird, I would think you could brew a BW from extract. Just get the lightest DME you can get (preferably from Pilsner malt - I know there's some 1-2L stuff out there), and go from there. It's pretty much a no boil recipe, so you don't have to worry about darkening.

I hate to drop coin on extract since I already have the wheat and pils malt; I might do a mash, just take the first runnings (3 gallons or or, at around 1.055-1.060ish), boil that for fifteen minutes, then top off with two gallons in the fermenter to dilute down to 1.032-ish. Then, I can brew inside (damn stove!) and still use the new Barley Crusher!

The NEXT house, I'm going to have a *real* stove inside...
