Hmm, yeah my fermenting temps are gonna kill me. I have no idea what it's going to be like from one day to the next, really... I need to invest in a fermentation chamber soon (as soon as SWMBO forgets about all the stuff I bought to go AG).
With 75% efficiency, BeerAlchemy is saying that the OG and abv are slightly higher than BJCP guidelines. I suppose it doesn't matter, but it's interesting to play around with things to see what changes (to go for 65% efficiency, it gave me slightly over 8 lbs wheat and 4.5 lbs pilsner, so I evened it out at 8 and 4 for easy buying, which took it down somewhat)
Oh, another thing since I'm bugging you... you said that this was still good 6 months later? I thought wheats had a shorter lifespan, and would go downhill in a month or so. It's part of the reason I've been wary to try one, because I already have a decent amount of beer that I'm slowly going through. I would, however, love to try this and so if it will last me through the fall then I'm all over it.
