Just finished brewing an American Wheat. I did a partial mash (using a small 3-gallon mash tun; not the bag method) with 2 lbs of pale malt and 2 lbs of wheat malt at 152F for 60 minutes. I normally get 70-75% efficiency, but if I am doing my math correctly, I think I only hit 57% with this mash. I did everything as I normally do, but this is the first time I've used this particular grist bill.
Does wheat malt need to be mashed longer or give poorer conversion?
