Odds and Ends Wheat help.

[a_dwiz]

So I have a few odds and ends laying around that are very similar to a wheat recipe. Would love some help with getting a decent beer out of it.

Ingredients:
Flaked wheat and caramunich steeping grains (From BM dirty blonde kit)
6lbs wheat LME
2lbs Extra Light DME
1oz hallertau (60 min)
1oz Citra (20 min)

I would need to get some yeast too, thinking wyeast 4944 Belgian wit.

Any thoughts on the recipe would be greatly appreciated!

I think you'll need some base grain to go along with the flaked wheat.

I think you'll need some base grain to go along with the flaked wheat.

The grains are:

8oz Caramel 10
8oz flaked wheat
4oz caramunich

What he’s saying is you won’t get any fermentable sugars from the flaked wheat if you don’t do a partial mash with some base malt.

Could you pick up a 1lb of base malt (probably Pilsn with what you are going for) and do a mini mash?

Flaked wheat without another grain with diastatic power will get you better heading, mouthfeel, and starch haze. If you want clear beer you do need a base malt. JMHO
