    Carapils or Wheat?

    I'm looking to make a light, citrusy IPA so I'm keeping the grains simple. People seem to recommend either Carapils or Wheat in small amounts 5-10% to improve head retention etc. What are the properties that each adds to the equation? Is it a one or the other or do you ever use both? Does one go...

    Head Retention Issues (I've Tried Everything!)

    So I've been brewing all-grain BIAB, 4-4.5 gallon batches, for about 4 years now. I brewed extract for a couple of years beforehand. I've consistently had head retention issues with my beer. When I brewed extract, this was never an issue. After searching the internet and these forums...

    Wheat Substitute?

    After thinking I had a gluten allergy for the last few years, it turns out I am only allergic to wheat. Barley and Rye are totally good. Looking for suggestions on what I should substitute for wheat in a wheat based style (Witbeir, Hef's, Whites). Any ideas?

    IPA wheat/oat grains

    I’m a really big fan of these extra pale IPAs with a tropical fruit focus. Most I enjoy list their ingredients and I noticed a lot use wheat and oats. My question is, what would be a basic grain bill to start with? I imagine the base grain is 2 row and oat and wheat playing compliment. Can...

    What the funk is going on with my Hefe?

    I am trying to brew a German hefeweizen - it's my favorite kind of beer. I've been trying for about 2 years to get the brew I'm looking for. I love the banana clove bubble gum flavor in a good Hefe but can't seem to get anywhere close to it. So I am stumped. Every time it gets a weird flavor...

    Wheat Beer Yeasts?

    I'm just wondering, what yeast strains have you used with your wheat beers and how they turned out? I'm not really thinking about the American Wheat or Heffe strains. I'm more thinking have you used some other strains on a wheat beer, like Pacman, Kolsch or something else unusual and how they...

    Pink Peppercorn Wit?

    I want to try something different with a wit, and got the idea of using the sweet, tangy, slightly spicy pink 'peppercorn'. My main question is when to use it and how much? I want it to be one of the predominant flavors, but not to overshadow the wheat and hops. Any suggestions are appreciated!
