Hey Folks. I'm just about to brew a Coopers Wheat beer kit and I was going to make a few small changes. Since I've never altered a recipe before I was hoping to get some feedback and also to make sure what I was doing makes sense.
Original recipe : Contents of kit + 500mg DME + 300mg Dextrose. => 5 Gallon Batch
Modified recipe : Contents of kit + partial mash of 600g Wheat Malt and 350g of 2-row Barley.
1oz of Hallertauer US at 30 minutes
1oz of Hallertauer US at 60 minutes
I increased the amounts of Wheat/Barley relative to DME/Dextrose since their PPG contributions were lower. 44PPG vs 38 PPG I added the hops since I believe the kit says it is unhopped and you are supposed to use some type of Hop concentrate which coopers sells but I don't have.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated !
