Hello,
Getting ready to brew a simple standard Weizen this weekend (50/50 wheat / pilsner).
Just wondering what kind of absorption rate the wheat malt has vs. standard barley malt.
With standard all barley based ale grain bills, I find I have around .12 gallons per pound absorption during the mash.
Do you guys making a lot of wheat beers find that it absorbs more? (I know I have heard that it does, somewhere, but don't know where....)
Tried to do a search on this, but not finding a lot of answers that way.
Thanks, and Cheers!
