I was planning on brewing two hefe's in a row. I have two main questions.
1. LHBS only had 8# of Wheat extract. I picked up 6# of regular extract. Can I make hefe's using 4# of wheat and 3# of light? What can I expect the final beer to taste like? Or should I just wait until I can go all wheat?
2. I was planning to bottle from the primary and re-using the yeast from the first brew. How do I go about doing this? Do I just pour my second batch on top of the yeast left over from the first brew? Or do I have to go with the method of trying to seperate of the yeast from the leftover, starting a new starter and re pitching?
