I'm thinking about trying my hand at a small partial mash. How does this sound for a light American Wheat beer?
1.5 lbs Malted Wheat
1 lb 2 row Malted Barley
3 lbs Extra Light DME
.25 oz Magnum Hops 13.5% AA 60 min
.25 oz Perle Hops 7.9% AA 30 min
.25 oz Perle Hops 0 min
American Ale Yeast
Also, a few questions about the mash. The Complete Joy of Homebrewing recommends a steep mash for a similar recipe (Sayandra Wheat Beer), I've heard that an infusion mash is sufficiant-- what do you all think? What level of mash efficiancy can be expected in a mash in pot and sparge in strainer type process?
