Tomorrow I will be brewing my first All Grain American Wheat beer. This is my third attempt at AG brewing. First attempt was messy, missed my target OG, but wound up with a GREAT beer. Second attempt was 2 days ago and it went really well. Could have used a couple more points in my starting gravity, but I was very happy with how it went.
I found one of Yoopers recipes on another forum while Googling some beers that can go from kettle to glass quickly. The recipe is below....
The recipe includes no information about mash schedule. I did some research, and it seems that Wheat beers sometimes require a multi step mash. Ive never done this, and Id love some help/input/suggestions on how to go about my mash and figuring out my water amounts....Thanks in advance, the switch to AG has been intimidating, but Im PSYCHED about it, and my beers have gotten so much better! Recipe below:
