Table rock nut brown ale:
6 lbs.- lite extract syrup
1 lb. - Carapils malt
0.5 lb. - Carastan malt
6 oz. -Brown malt
4 oz. - Caramel malt 120*L
2 oz. - Black malt
2 oz. - Chocolate malt
My question relates to the carapils. If I wanted to replace it with flaked wheat, after some more reading, perhaps a partial mash while the heat is being closely monitered, would be in order. Am I close? I haven't seen much good happening w/ carapils, as far has head retention goes, so I thought I would try my luck w/ flaked wheat. Also I don't have a water profile of my well water, and my wife doesn't want me to spend the money on that. It's only beer she says! Anyway, in case the water might be a culprit in head retention matter. All I have is a swimming pool paper, and i have soft water. All the other stuff, I don't know.
