I saw a 'Simple Wheat Beer' recipe on line that I wrote down that just used extract and hops .Two 3.3 cans and two pacs hops and pac of yeast for a 5gal batch.
Local shop didnt have any wheat extract but had Briess wheat malt (grain).
I picked up two lbs.
I also picked up one pound of Crystal Malt 40L .( Thought it may boost the fermentation as I didnt know how wheat did)
Only hops they had with mention of being used for wheat was Mt.Hood and I got one packet, which I planned on dividing for adding half at beginning of boil and half last 15 minutes.
I am wanting to make a half batch of 2.5 gal .
My question is , will the malts above be the equal of the the above extracts if the extracts were divided in half ?
As you can tell Ive never done an all grain
Am I even close ???????
