There was wheat on the family farm this year...so I have lots of raw wheat at my disposal. I also have some Willamette/Cascade hops that I grew on the farm last year.
My aim is to combine the two for an "all family grown" beer... which would get everybody pumped up!
I would like to go with 100% wheat if at all possible...just to keep it "local"
Here's the things I do know:
1. Need to cereal mash (here's all I know about cereal mashing >>> Cereal Mashing – How To Do It and Why You Shouldn’t Bother | Hopwild.com )
2. Use lots of rice hulls in the mash.
3. I'll need some source of enzymes...but don't know how to do this (other than using other malted grains)
Please fill me in on what else I need to know...or anything i've stated incorrectly. With any luck, I'll brewing this beer on the weekend and pitching it onto a WLP 400 wit yeast cake. then...maybe wheat wine!!!
