Can You Help Me Turn This In To An AG?

[woody189]

Hi. I've only made 2 batches so far, and they have both been extract. for my last batch I made this recipe:

Weinstephan Wheat

Grains
1 lb Munich
1/3 lb Crystal

extracts
1 qt pale
1 qt wheat

Hops
1 oz Hallertau (bittering)
1/2 oz Hallertau (finishing)

White Lab Liquid Yeast, Hefeweizen Ale Yeast WLP300

I'm looking for a similar AG recipe but I'm not sure how to find one/pick one. Can you give me a name of a recipe, or ingredient list, or link to a good recipe?

I like the way mine came out, and would like to make it again, but wanted to try AG.

Thanks

I don't know what a qt of extract weighs, but I think I remember 7 pounds of extract = 10 pounds of grain. I don't know how to help you in terms of quarts.

Take a look at this recipe. Feel free to use your same hops instead, but the grain bill is close to what you are looking for. It is an 11 gallon batch. Just cut the ingredients in half and make 5.5 gallons.

would this wind up tasting Pale Ale-y??

I'm wondering because my recipe called for 1/2 pale and 1/2 wheat. But the other one calls for 2/3 Pale, adn 1/3 wheat. Should I alter the recipe so it's 50/50?

What type of Wheat malt should I use?
And also, is 2-row malt the same as 2-row Pale malt?

You can, but using a higher amount of wheat means your going to need some rice hulls to prevent a stuck sparge. Unless your doing BIAB.

OKay. I'm gonna need a little clarification because this iis gonna me be my 1st AG batch (3rd altogether).

I plan on adding some orange zest like I did to the original extract recipe I used. You think it would be good w/ this recipe?
