Ok, so it sounds like the wheat malt extract is fine for a yeast starter regardless of beer style but I should use something more neutral for bottling. Thanks for your help!
I have a 3 lb bag of Munton's Wheat dried malt extract that I don't expect to be doing anything else with, so I'm thinking about using it for yeast starters and for bottling (in place of corn sugar). If I'm using it for a non-wheat beer, such as the brown ale I'll be bottling in a month or two...
I made my first ever mead (second ever brew) about 3 weeks ago and since then I've done a bit of research and now I have a few concerns. Ignorance is bliss, I guess.
Recipe
5lbs raw honey
2 gallons water
1.5 tsp yeast energizer
.5 tsp acid blend
1/2 packet champagne yeast
vanilla bean...
