Hello all...I'm a noob to the home brewing scene and I've settled on partial mashing with 2 Mr. Beer fermenters right now. I'm only three batches in experience-wise and my carpool buddy is on vacation. So I turn to you fine folks for advice.
I pulled a recipe from BeerTools for a raspberry wheat. Scaling it down to the Mr. Beer size (2.11 gals), and adapting to what was available at the store, here's what I got:
________________________________________________________
.68 lbs American 2-row
2 lbs Briess Light Wheat DME
.03 lbs Crystal 20
1 lb Flaked Wheat
.4 oz German Tettnanger pellets (5.5% AA) - 60 min
.2 oz Palisade pellets (6.5% AA) - 15 min
Yeast: Danstar Windsor Dry Yeast (I'm not to keen on buying 5 gallons worth of liquid yeast)
.5 lbs Raspberries will be added during secondary
______________________________________________________
So, what do you think? Will it turn out okay?
Also, I've never used the flaked wheat before. Can I just steep it like I do the Crystal and 2-Row? I've heard things of starches. Any advice on the fruit?
Typical noob, many questions....
Thanks!!!
