So just to start off.. I love brewing with wheat. I'm a big fan of weissbier and witbier. Even the stouts that I have done have been with wheat (although you really can't taste the difference due to the roasted flavors).
That being said, I am also crazy about Belgian ales.. especially Dubbels and BDS.
I made a simple Dubbel awhile back that was fantastic. Simple recipe.. just a little Caramunich, Special B, and homemade dark candi. Everything else was just Light DME.
I am going to try this recipe again, but was thinking of switching out the Light DME with Wheat DME.
How much do you think this would affect the taste? Would the wheat add a weird flavor that would clash with the nice carmel/rum/raisiny flavor?
