Wheat beer recipe review

[Tactical-Brewer]

Hey all, I've got 4lbs of milled 2 row that has me wanting to brew a beer asap..

I wanted to brew a wheat beer and got some suggestions for wheat replacement on here but found out my local hardware store has some Bavarian wheat dme. It's 65% wheat 35% barley.

Thinking something like this for a 5 gallon batch

4lb 2row
4lb Bavarian wheat dme (ld Carlson)
1lb rolled oats

1oz hallertau @ 60

Wild yeast.

I've got a similar recipe concocted on beer Smith but I don't know how it has the wheat dme set up in there since most are a blend.

Oh, and I was thinking of mashing the 2 row like normal then adding the dme as I was bringing it to a boil?

Thanks guys/gals

Seems decent to me. It looks like a smallish amount of wheat for a wheat beer but it'll definitely add some nice character.

 

[Tactical-Brewer]

Yeah, not as much wheat as I'd like but I don't want to drive up to my lhbs which is an hour away just for wheat. I haven't gotten into online grain buying yet so I guess I'll give this dme a try.

 

[brewshki]

Definitely. Seems legit.

Looks good. 1:1 base malt to wheat is pretty typical in wheat recipes.

 

[Tactical-Brewer]

Thanks guys. Will hopefully be brewing this in the next weekend or two.

Finally figured out how to do this. Don't pay attention to the "Yeast" section of it, I'll be using a house wild strain.

Sounds good, just wonder what "hardware store" you got your brew supplies from. Lol �� I'm sure that was a typo.

Nope, no typo on my end lol. It's a walley's hardware here in town. They have a very limited selection of wine/beer equipment and supplies. It's a pretty funny thing because they actually have a very detailed cake making section too surrounded by power tools and hardware haha [emoji106]🏻
