Default Type of Wheat in this beer
Just wanted to see if someone could help me identify the type of wheat used in this Hefeweizen (by the picture). Recipe is basically:
5 lb 2-Row Malt
4 lb Wheat Malt (red or white?)
8 oz Carapils



I am guessing red.... but I don't know the affect of a small amount of Carapils on color. I read on the interwebz that Carapils does not add to color, only body.
