Yeah without any of the wheat malt it won't have the wheat flavor you were looking for....that's a shame they shorted you. If you feel that it is still too hoppy for your tastes, feel free to cut back the 30 min addition to 1/2oz or 1/4oz. Perhaps it's the lack of wheat malt that is allowing more of the hops to come through, but I never felt this beer was really hoppy. But it wouldn't hurt anything to cut back on that addition.

Thanks i think it was due to not having the grains im gonna brew this again later this month after my prickly pear honey mead is done ferminting. Im thinking it should turn out right this time.

Made this and went from grain to glass in 3 weeks. Thanks for the recipe, it's delicious! Can't wait to taste it in another week.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. Cant beat grain to glass in under a month. Cheers

Looks great. Definitely on the list for spring!
I'll report back on it.

Sorry if this information has already been posted but I couldn't find it. How long would you recommend leaving this in the primary and secondary? Or would you recommend using only a primary for this brew? Thanks

Don't be sorry, all questions are welcomed! I typically just do a primary only with this beer. I let it sit for about 3 weeks. With this recipe having a large percentage of wheat, it will stay a tad hazy even if aged in a secondary.

I brewed a 2.5 gal batch Sunday. Can't wait to try it.

For reasons too many to list, I had to keg this today. I force carbed and pulled a pint.

This is a GREAT BEER! I will definitely be doing 5 gal batches this summer (and let it go for 3 weeks too).
