I planned on making a blackberry wheat from the below ingredients:
6.6lbs Irks Wheat extract
1-2 lbs Amber Dry Malt Extract
2 cups Carapils
1 1/2 oz Hallatter hops (bittering)
1 tsp Irish moss
1/2 Saaz hops (finishing)
3 1/2 quarts FROZEN blackberries added to help cool wort
1 cup corn sugar for priming
Wyeast #3056 and 1 quart starter
Well, after going to the local store I had to make some substitutions for the extract and the yeast.
I have Mutons Wheat extract and Wyeast #3068, which the guy said is also a wheat yeast.
The extract doesn't concern me much but substituting the yeast does. These ingredients added up to a healthy sum that will come out at over a buck a bottle. Should I drive 30 mins to the next town over to pick up the right yeast, assuming they have it or will this be fine?
