Hi all,
Could you tell me if the following should work?
I have the ingredients already, so I prefer not to go shopping.
I'd like to make wheat beer, but I am limited in equipment and experience. I am also not entirely sure how to downsize recipes.
Limitations
5 gal boiler
5 gal fermenter
Ingriedients
'regular' 2 row malt crushed 5lbs?
malted wheat crushed 5 lbs?
Hallertau hops (1 oz 60 min, 1 oz 0 min)
Nottingham yeast (1 packet)
Plan
Heat water (15 qt) in the pot to strike temp (160F?)
Dump grain into the water, stir, wrap in blanket, mash for 1 hour
strain
add sparge water (160F?) (9 qt?) to the grain, stir, strain
bring wort to 5 gal if needed, boil 60 min
add hops
chill
pitch Notty yeast
ferment 2 weeks @65F, check SG
prime with sugar 5-6 oz
bottle
condition in the basement for 30 days
chill
enjoy
