Hey folks,
here's the deal. I am planning on brewing a honey wheat ale this next week and I am trying to figure out how to incorporate some un-malted Hard winter white wheat. Why you ask?? Well it comes from my in-law's farm and I'm trying to get some 'local ingredients' incorporated into this thing. Just picked up some awesome local raw honey.
the fermentables as of now are as follows:
4.5lbs 2 row
4 ish? lbs malted wheat
1 lb honey
So then i have these couple lbs of unmalted wheat to get in there.. I had two ideas and I'm wondering if anyone has played around with either of these.
I considered steeping the unmalted wheat at flameout for a few minutes.
I've also considered 'dry hopping' with the unmalted in my primary.
what do you think? And yes i know it would be a lot easier to just not and say I did...
