damn it, none of my local shops have chocolate wheat right now.
I have chocolate malt and debittered black in stock, should I give one of those a try?

I would go with the debittered black. The chocolate malt will probably be too overpowering.

Gave the batch some time, its finally come into its own. Its fantastic. The roasted flavor is just brief followed by a nice wheat/hefe finish. Now I wish I wouldn't have drank half of it already!

Did a two week primary and its been in the keg for 4 weeks. It's finally hit its prime! Will definitely be brewing this again.

so if you did it over would you still use less of the chocolate wheat? or keep it the same?

If I need to drink it quickly, I'd go a little less (3/4 lb). However given how its progressed, I'd brew it the exact same again! Let me know how yours turns out.

I saved a bottle or two of this and had it at the 6 month mark. The beer is actually fantastic. Just a nice subtle roastiness on top of a fading wheat base. Not much hefe character at all.

Very tasty. Happy with the way this beer came out.

Jamil's American Wheat used WLP 320, Wyeast 1010 or Safale-05 yeast.

Breiss Midnight Wheat malt is a 550 degree SRM wheat malt that provides a bit of milder roast flavor without bitter astringency of other black malts. You don't need much of this to color your beer.

I used WLP320. I agree regarding the black wheat. I'd prob do half a pound and it'd be fine. A pound was prob too much. Was a tasty beer though.
