And, if I were to buy wheat malt instead of regular wheat, can it just be steeped, or does it need to be mashed too.

This is the wheat I was thinking of buying, is this malted or unmalted? http://www.austinhomebrew.com/product_info.php?cPath=178_21_71_112&products_id=112

OK, thanks for the help. The one question I still have is if I were to do this partial mash, what is the malted wheat that I would need to buy? How do I know if its malted or unmalted?

Hey, thanks for the help, that helps make some sense out of it, though still trying to wrap my head around it. So steeping them is probably a waste of my time? What is a malted wheat that I would have to mash this with? Is a crystal grain malted? I am completely new to this, so sorry I sound all...

OK, so I did research, and see that wheat needs to be mashed, and I don't have any fancy equipment. Is there an easy way to mash with the pot and the extract equipment I have? What other grains would anyone suggest to steep in place of the wheat? I am thinking maybe honey malt, 1/2 lb, or 3/4...

That's a good question I guess about the grains. Every extract recipe I have done so far has had malt extract plus grains that are steeped prior to the boil, is there no purpose to this? I always assumed it added sugars or flavors or something to the wort...am i wrong with this assumption?

Thanks for the heads up on that, I will definitely keep that in mind. Any other thoughts or opinions on ingredients and boil times from anyone?

Cool, I will try and let them sit for another couple weeks to see how that effects them.

So, by adding it later in the boil what does this do to the flavor of the orange and coriander? Does it make it less subtle, or more so? BTW, the second time the white wheat is in there is a typo.

so you don't think thats the issue Yooper, would you say its a timing thing, or sanitation issue when bottling, or something completely different? I am trying to get as many opinions from people who know what they're talking about as possible.

Yeah, thats all i did, just the mixing from siphoning it. That makes sense that could be part of my issue.

So would it be best for me to soak in starsan, rinse and bottle wet?

I cleaned all my bottles prior to bottling day and stored them in my closet. On bottling day I mixed up some star san sanitizer and soaked my bottles in them, then rinsed and air dried them before bottling. The only mixing I did was when I siphoned into secondary, and again when I siphoned into...

So, my good friends and my wife and I are going on a a camping trip in early summer, and I am looking at brewing this recipe for the trip. I am not a huge belgian fan, but my wife and friends love it. I really like Breckenridge agave wheat, and thought if I could do something similar with an...

So, I am legitimately frustrated with my most recent batch of beer. It is my second batch, my third is currently in secondary right now. It is a NB nut brown extract recipe. I follows all the instructions according to what was sent me. I read on their reviews that coffee is a good additive to...
