I have this recipe:
5 gal, OG = 1.050, FG = 1.013
IBU = 19, SRM = 14, ABV = 4.7%
8 lbs 10 oz. 2-row Pale Malt
1 lb Munich Malt
8 oz. Crystal Malt (80L)
6 oz. Victory Malt
0.4 oz. Target (60 min.)
0.5 oz. Willamette (10 min.)
0.5 oz. Goldings (0 min.)
Wyeast 1272 or Wyeast 1792 or WLP051 Yeast
...but I have about half the required 2-row...and have about 2 1/2 pounds of Crystal-10...and a smattering of -20, -40, and -60...and a pound of Torrified Wheat. I have the Kent and Willamette but not the Target hops...but 0.5 oz each of Hallertau, Cascade, and Saaz. The only yeast packet I have is WB-06. I live 50 miles from the nearest brew shop and I want to use up my ingredients on hand anyway, so I'm OK with a little experimentation.
With this in mind, can I sub some Torrified Wheat for what I lack in 2-row, sub -60 for -80, and use the WB-06 in this recipe and get something decent? It'll be wheat-y and that's fine...but I'm just looking for a little guidance here.
Thanks for your expertise, all!
