Wheaties and whole corn meal mash!!! Sounds like fun-

Do you leave the hops in while serving? Or just put in for a week and remove --

How long do you wait from the time you put it in untill consumption? Also, can you just leave it in there until the keg is empty?

Well, if you mixed up some white sugar, some brown sugar, and some dark brown sugar in a bowl, and tasted it, I'd think you would get a hint of character from each ingredient.

I'm currently drinking an American Wheat: 7lb wheat (I used Munton's) bring 6.3 gal to boil, add 1lb wheat, and .8oz Amarillo hops boil for 55 min. Last 5 min, add 6lb wheat Flame-out addition of 1.75oz Amarillo Cool, pitch a packet of Danstar Nottingham yeast. Ferment for 1 week...

My local place had Amarillo, which was a surprise, so I went with that instead. ~ .8oz for 60, ~1.6 at flame-out, and I have another 1.6 for dry hopping - Found a gumballhead clone that inspired me :) Hoping I like this style! I loved the Amarillo aroma when boiling, couldn't resist smelling...

Ok, how about: 5.5 gal Target IBU 19 Est. Orig. Gravity 1.056 Est. Final Gravity 1.013 Est. Color 6.9 Est. ABV 5.5% Bring 4 gal to boil, add 1lb ex. light DME Boil .5oz Pearle for 45 min Add 6lb Wheat DME, bring to boil Boil .5oz Pearle for 5 min Cool to 75, pitch yeast...

Good, because the banana/clove and yeast characteristics are what I don't like in a wheat beer. I'm more of an eat your wheaties plain type. I might give the willamette a try - what do yo think about Pearle? I have an ounce of that in the fridge, but would rather buy something recommended...

I like wheat beers, but I'm not a fan of the yeastiness of traditional wheat beers. I like Appalacian Water Gap Wheat, but even that beer seems to leave a bit to be desired. I was thinking along the lines of: 5.5 gal: 6lb dme wheat 1lb dme extra light Not sure on the hops, but was...

Went off well Saturday, took me about 3 hrs or so with cleanup. I ended up using Nottingham since my WLP001 is still under my double IPA in the carboy. I should have known better, but the airlock was full of foam this morning -- Had to do an emergency blow-off tube... It's a wild party in...

After all I've read about #9, I finally found a place with it on draft. Wow, was I disappointed. It was like drinking a very dry peach flavored iced tea. Maybe I'm partially biased, because I don't think fruit has any place in beer :)

I bought a lincoln HD3200 from Home Depot for 459 + 10% off with a home depot credit account, it was down to a little over 400. Works great, came with everything but gas (optional). Of course I automatically had to have an auto darkening helmet :)

No problems on the equipment side, I keep talking myself in and out of doing a mini-mash.

Any suggestions on my ingredients?

Sounds like I shouldn't have a problem with adding the specialty grains late with the DME: From BYO:

Does the rinse water from the specialty grains need to be boiled for an hour to reduce the DMS? Or is this only a problem with base malts and mashing?

Ok, I'll add about 2lb to the boiling pot with the hops then, should keep me safe. Any suggestions for my recipe? Anything I could add or take away? BeerSmith put it on the low end of bitterness and color for a pale ale, and I'm aiming for a highly drinkable "keeps you going back for more"...

I'm looking to do a mildly hopped pale ale that I can have on hand most of the time, I've come up with this: For 10.5 gallons- 13lb Extra Light DME 1lb carapils 1lb caramel 10 1/2lb caramel 40 1.5oz Perle 60 min 1.0oz Cascade 15 min 1.0oz Cascade 5 min White Labs California Ale (2...
