There's only 3 grains in this recipe - white wheat, 2-row, and carapils. Not sure which grain(s) are off. I think what I'll do is to just add 2 or 3 more gallons of water and make a larger batch. I don't know what else to do.
So who's brewing this weekend?

Decided to bag it after all. Going to drive up for replacement grains, hopefully they'll make it right.
Right OK so you got 66% more. I'll tell you what. Send me that excess and I'll tell you if Imperial wheat beer is a thing or not.
Wheat wine is a thing!
If not this weekend perhaps Monday.
Rather than return to your LHBS, embrace the fact that you got a lot more than you paid for. Simply use the weight of grist necessary for your recipe, then use the remainder the following day or following weekend for a second batch.
A fella can have all kinds of fun with eight pounds of free grain! I would use that extra eight pounds to do something daring. Have you ever brewed with Hibiscus? It adds a wonderful tart, fruity note and makes the beer pink. It makes a fun thirst-quenching beer for the summer. Have you played with ginger and lemon grass in a wheat beer? Do you like Dry Irish Stouts? I've taken to using wheat in the place of flaked barley, just add black patent and you're off to the races.
You have endless opportunities for fun! Take the opportunity to do something stupid!

Getting ready to grind tomorrow's grist.
I'm doing the Panther Piss Ultra Dry again. It's been a fantastic July beer, it should be an equally good August beer. It'll be a long day because of the 3hr mash, but totally worth it.

Had no interest in brewing a Frankenstein Wheat beer. Drove up, got replacement grains and an apology. Gave him the excess 20 lbs crushed grains for his chickens. Brew day tomorrow.
Whaaaaaa Soooo does that mean I am not getting my Imperial wheat beer ???
I think that's illegal by forum rules.

Brewing my Octoberfest tomorrow, first time with Wyeast 2124 which I've been using a lot this summer.
After cleanup I'll probably make a quick starter with a pack of Lutra for next week's blonde ale.

I'm between two beers this weekend, can't decide which to brew.
Either:
~9% Belgian Tripel hopped with Mandarina Bavaria
Or:
~8.5% hazy DIPA with Amarillo, Simcoe and Sabro
Currently leaning towards the Tripel as I've already got one IPA on tap but this pile is definitely singing to me:

I am brewing a German Hefeweizen right now. I am also doing a decoction for that soft mouthfeel. I make it this way every time and I just love the results. I call this one Hef Heaven! Have a great day everyone!

Love the usage of the mug for blowoff which will probably be used to put the beer into later
Mashing my American Wheat, (finally).

Getting ready to stir up a Genesee Cream clone because WHERE IN THE HELL IS ALL THE CREAM ALE????
Seriously, tho. I only found 1 Vanilla Cream in a huge store. (This is what I will be drinking today, ftr).
Genesee, get ye to Atlanta!

I'd love to brew a decent Genny Cream clone. If you come close please report back.

I have the same one Stainless and several clear plastics. Easy to clean the stainless, but i miss seeing the fermentation.
Like WTH ... I need about 10 gal spring water and guess what, the 2 walmarts in 5 mile radius are out of anything but the little bottles.

It's bad when you can't even get bottled water. I brewed a Blond Ale today full grain with the grandfather. Boring beer to make and not much on flavor, but I'm brewing for the neighborhood party coming up in early October and a lot of oldies that don't like real homebrew, so I 'll just put it in the keg in a couple weeks and into the cooler. By then hopefully it will get some flavor going.
Well what can I say, it was $2.25 for 2.5 gal last time I bought it. Gal jugs are now 1.08. However Harris teeter and publix were both over $3 for the 2.5 gal. Sadly, I'm going to have to buy that, or try aldi.
American Wheat ale in the fermenter and bubbling through the blow-off in less than 4 hours. We have company coming to visit in 3 weeks so I want to turn this one around fairly quickly. Went with Voss Kveik yeast, and since it can give some orange flavors I added some Valencia orange zest at flame out.

I love that yeast, it's great!
Nice speakers. Paradigm ? Focal ?
LOL the other one I've never owned. But I'm a vintage guy myself, though I've had my share of 80's and 90's poly cone speakers I knew it wasn't one I have ever had. This one is newer - early-mid 00's ?
Yesterday I brewed up a Mosaic Pale; and this is the very first time I'm really going LODO on a beer. It's in my fermonster with a pressure transfer lid on it, and my spunding valve for allowing the co2 out; dry hops are already in there, held up with magnets so I can drop them without opening the lid. Can't wait to see how it turns out.
Yep, somewhere around 2005. I also have the PSB center and rear speakers, and a HSU sub (that I just received a new amp for yesterday). I had a nice surround setup for music listening when I had a dedicated music room back in NY. Now, due to lack of space in this house I only have the mains and a sub connected.
*Sorry for the interruption.
Brewed last Sunday. 3 batches, oatmeal stout, pale ale, and a Einstock White Ale clone. They all seem to be healthy and on their way to awesome.

Willamette and Cascade Pale Ale. Overnight mash and early brew morning tomorrow
With my keg of Panther Piss Ultra rice lager's floating dip tube starting to suck up stuff from the bottom, it was time to brew another batch to get me through to cooler weather. Can you call a beer that requires a three hour mash and a further 1hr runoff a LODO beer? I'm sure the LODO boys would recoil in horror, but this recipe gets the full LODO treatment anyway.
I never stop being amused by the fact that the absolute worst beer that I make is also the most technically challenging. Making terrible beer is a real challenge, but brewing it at 1.050 and 47 IBU makes it enjoyable.

Should dip under the 100° mark in the North Texas area next weekend so going to try and brew next weekend. May try and pull off back to back brews Saturday and Sunday. Blue Moon-ish Type beer that my wife and friends enjoy, along with a Lemon Drop Saison fingers crossed on the weather. May also try and make it to the new Homebrew store that opens in Dallas next weekend.
Brewing a Lawnmower Beer. I’m out of HB. Have a batch of Weissbier that I’ll keg while I’m brewing this fizzy yellow beer, but I need to get the pipeline filled up.
Is this the right thread? I’m brewing a blackberry Gose this week. Hopefully will enter it into a local brew competition my club is having. Fingers crossed!

Whole Nother Level Brewing
Brewed a sahti yesterday; missed most of my numbers. But the volume was spot on, and the yeast (authentic Finnish bakers yeast) got ripping in a hurry! Now to watch it like a hawk so I can rack it at the proper time.
The beauty of retiring, every day is a weekend!!
Currently mashing a Best Bitter.

Brewed up a Caribou Slobber from northern. Really don't like how their directions are worded as I might have screwed it up . So used to having a brew schedule to follow not just a gaggle of words. So I know I might have messed up this batch but hay in their defense it was 105 out and I was by the burner lol. So instead of 60 45 15 hops went in at the start of boil 45 into the boil and flame out for 15 min. if anything I think it might just give me an interesting beer non less. Sadly i cannot seem to calibrate my refractometer so i am unsure of the og of this batch. this weekend when I transfer to the secondary I'll be starting a honey nut brown for kegging. though might swap and bottle age that and keg age the other.
