So first and foremost I guess I should introduce myself, my name is Dan, from the Denver area. I am a total beginner to home brewing, just got a Northern Brewer deluxe starter kit as a Xmas gift and have a Caribou Slobber fermenting as we speak.
I have been interested in home brewing for quite some time and as such have a great many ideas already in my head concerning types and styles I'd eventually like to try my hand at. The more I study up on the processes of brewing the more fascinated I become with crafting my own personal recipes.
I thought about moving along to partial mash for my next attempt and would love to get a nice hefe figured out. So, with the help of TastyBrew's recipe calculator and armed with the very little knowledge I have gleaned thus far from this forum and other helpful sites I put together a little wheat recipe that I was hoping to maybe get some feedback on. Any and all help would greatly appreciated at this point in my education!
5 gal batch
3 gal boil
Mash:
- 3.5lb Weyermann Pale Wheat
- 3.0lb German Pilsner
- .25lb Weyermann CaraWheat
- .5lb Flaked Wheat
Extract:
- 3lb Briess Wheat DME
- 1oz Saaz for 60min
- .25 Saaz for 15min
- .25 Saaz at Flameout
Wyeast 3068
the calculator spits out:
OG 1.066
FG 1.017
IBU 18
ABV 6.3%
SRM 7
That's with my brewery efficiency at 70%... could I expect that?
Still have to figure out the best way to do partial mash as well...
Again, any help/criticism/ideas/etc is appreciated, thanks!
