Long story short, winged a recipe at LHBS, proceed with immediate regret driving home.
I purchased:
10lbs double crushed (5# german malt / 5# munich*)
*This is where I made my mistake. My previous Wheat Beer was an Ed Wort Bav. Hefe and this should have been 5# pils) I've used 1lb of munich in my IPAs (thanks Ed Wort), but 5 is a far more than 1. 4 more by my scientific calculations
My goal was a low abv, light wheat, that was refreshing. I had considered adding tangerine rind for additional citrus flavor.
--------------------------------
I also have in my inventory:
8# 2 row
.5# honey malt
Amarillo 1oz
Cascade 1 oz
Citra lots
Simcoe even more
US-05 packet
WLP300 hefe yeast
----------------------------
Should I combine the dry ingredients and do a 10 gal batch?
I know that the 8# 2row could be used for a SMASH or PA/IPA with all those hops. The thing is, I have 15 gals of various APA/IPA's that are being bottled today.
-------------------------------
Any input is valued....
