Hoppy Wheatwine Recipe

[tmains]

Hey all,
I'm working on a wheatwine recipe here. Using bovineblitz's recipe as a basis, found here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/anyone-recall-podcast-where-they-talk-about-using-ton-citrus-zest-241640/#post2879203
My recipe is as follows:

Recipe Specifications
--------------------------
Batch Size: 5.50 gal
Boil Size: 7.00 gal
Estimated OG: 1.093
Brewhouse Efficiency: 75.0 %
Boil Time: 60 Minutes

Ingredients:

--------------------------

10 lb. Pale Malt (briess) 48.8%
2 lb. White Weat 9.8%
5 lb. Flaked Wheat 24.4%
1.5 lb. Vienna Malt 7.3%
1 lb Flaked Oats 4.9%
1 lb Rice Hulls 4.9%
1 oz Sorachi Ace [10.80%] (15 min) 8.6 IBU
1.25 oz Citra [12.50%] (15 min) 24.8 IBU
0.50 oz Sorachi Ace [10.80%] (5 min) 3.4 IBU
1.25 oz Citra [12.50%] (5 min) 10.0 IBU
1 oz Sorachi Ace [10.80%] (Dry Hop 3 days)
1.00 oz Citra [12.50%] (Dry Hop 3 days)

Also gonna throw in some orange and lemon zest with 5 mins left in the boil. Ferment with WLP007 or something of that variety.

The plan is to brew (2) 5 gallon batches, one bottled as normal. The other to be fermented with Brett, lacto, and pedo. Blackberries in the secondary.

This is inspired by Itacha's Thirteen, an amazing hoppy wheatwine.

Suggestions?

Personally, id swap the amount of flaked wheat with the amount of wheat malt. Looks interesting.

Hmmm yeah that would make sense. I was basically combining other recipes. Why do people use flaked instead of malted wheat?

 

[tmains]

Also- should I be looking for malted oats instead of flaked oats?

Cheers

Don't quote me, as I do not have a lot of experience using it, but I believe it gives some body and creaminess to a beer.

That also makes sense, as Ithaca Thirteen's label says they use malted and flaked to provide a fluffy body. Maybe I'll do 2 lbs flaked and 5 lbs malted.

Gonna brew this on Saturday with the new grainbill:

10 lb. Pale Malt (briess) 48.8%
5 lb. White Weat 24.4%
2 lb. Flaked Wheat 9.8%
1.5 lb. Vienna Malt 7.3%
1 lb Flaked Oats 4.9%
1 lb Rice Hulls 4.9%

Here goes nothing.
