Great thanks! This means that since I have 20 lb unmalted wheat (and I use about .5 lbs in every recipe) that I don't need to put carapils in any recipe? Therefore I don't need to buy it?
So can I do this? How do I go about it? I need to use up some unmalted wheat.
OG: 1.050-1.060
55% Two Row
45% Unmalted Wheat
I already have a thread with the rest of the recipe that I started kind of wondering how to do it before I found this...
So I'm thinking this:
OG: 1.050-1.060
55% Two Row
45% Unmalted Wheat
Cascade Hops to get 20-30 IBU
.5 oz Lemon Zest
.5 oz Orange Zest
Will US05 work or should I order a wheat yeast?
I have other hop and grain options too if you'd like to make suggestions. I just want to...
What do you mean "pre cook the wheat?"
From what I read on the link you provided, I can use 50/50 two row and unmalted wheat and it should convert? Maybe 60/40 to be safe?
I'm on day 8 at 1.018 ish in the fermenter. It was kinda cold where I had it fermenting (50-56f) and I accounted for temp in the gravity reading. Should I warm it up a bit before secondary? See if it drops a bit more? The ferm was pretty violent. I am gonna have to warm the yeast a little...
So I'm making this
7 lbs MO
4 lbs 2 Row
12 oz Vienna
12 oz Victory
8 oz Wheat
2 oz Crystal 120
proportionally stepped up to make it 1.071 gravity.
Is that ok? or should I leave the specialties alone and only step up the MO and 2 Row?
Hop schedule is this-
Time Grams Ounces...
So I'm planning on doing this. I need an actual hop schedule though. I was going to shoot for a gravity of 1.070 to 1.072.
I was going to make it this:
7 lbs MO
4 lbs 2 Row
12 oz Vienna
12 oz Victory
8 oz Wheat
3 oz Crystal 120
proportionally increased to get the intended gravity...
I'm looking for the least expensive place to get dry yeast. US05 or Nottingham. I was going to buy 12-25 packs if that helps. I don't have an LHBS and I will have to have it shipped or mailed.
Thanks,
Wes
I'm gonna check it out. Its only a few min away. I'm currently in pharmacy school (graduate in May), so opening a HBS is a little much. But if I can get grain to me for less than 61 bucks a sack I'm all for it.
