Beer Drenched Executioner
Brewed a Wit today.
4# Pilsner
3# Belgian Wheat
2# Flaked Wheat
1# Flaked Oats
Was expecting to end up about .053 or better based on how my efficiency has been in the past, actually ended up with about .044. Truth is that probably works better for the kind of beer I'm trying to make anyway, but it raises some questions:
I was just wondering if this was something to be expected when brewing with that much wheat ?
I mashed for 90 minutes instead of 60 since I was expecting it to take a little longer due to the flaked wheat and oats. Maybe a little longer mash is in order next time ? Or is lower efficency just to be expected when brewing with this much non-enzyme adjuncts like Wheat and Oats ?
