I'm going to do an American wheat beer next so I can make something my wife will drink, too. Here is the recipe I plan on making.
Specialty Grains:
1lb Domestic 2 Row
1lb Red Flaked Wheat
6lb Wheat LME
1oz Cascade (60min)
1oz Cascade (5min)
1. Should I decrease the steeping grains down to 1/2 or 3/4 lb each?
2. The recipe I based this on used Williamette as the bittering hops and Cascade as the flavoring hops, but the AA is comparable between the two and my LHBS only sells 2oz bags so I figured I could use Cascade as the bittering hop. I don't want it too bitter though and BrewPal is telling me this hop schedule will give me 32IBU. Should I go .5oz Cascade to bitter, which will give me 21IBU?
3. I have an extra pale ale on SafAle05 right now and I was planning on washing that yeast for this batch since it did an amazing job attenuating down to 1.009 after a week. Any issues going from a Pale Ale to a Wheat with the same yeast?
