I'm hoping to make a first attempt at brewing a generic "wheat beer" this weekend, and was wondering if there are any specific techniques/tips that I could benefit from?
I do a poor excuse for a mini-mash (soak in plenty of water in grain bag, then roughly rinse), but only for flavour. My recipe will be something like:
2 kg light malt extract
1 kg wheat malt extract
250 g pale 2-row
250 g wheat malt
Northern Brewer for bittering
Hallertau or Hersbrucker for flavour/aroma
Safale/Wheat K-97 yeast
Very simple, but that's the idea. Does anyone see any potential problems? Or maybe easy ways to make this better?
