I've been thinking about doing a 100% wheat beer, and since I've got a good culture of White Labs WLP-830 German Lager Yeast going, I figured this could be very interesting. I bought some of the different wheat specialty malts I could find, including Dark Wheat Malt (8 L) - I'm wondering how close this is to a "Munich" type of treatment?, CaraWheat (40 L), and Chocolate Wheat (350 L). I'm shooting for something like an American Dark Lager, but with more flavor and bitterness. Here's the recipe. I'm throwing at least a pound of rice hulls in the mash as well.
