An american wheat with measurements in metric...

well my 15 year old digital kitchen scale can accurately measure 20g, 25g, and 30 g...but not .7oz, .88oz, or 1.05oz (same thing...different system). It goes in 1/8th oz increments, or one gram increments. I think lots of home digital scales are the same. Thats one of the benefits of metric, more precise measurements on home equipment.

Plan to brew this recipe on Sunday. Assume this is for a 5 -5.5 gallon batch?

6 gallons at the end of the boil. This way you can leave a little behind in the kettle, and a little behind in the fermenter, and still take a full 5 gallons of finished beer to the keg or bottles.

Let me know how you like this recipe. I think it's a really solid summer time session beer.
 
Apologies for the bump, but have this in my fermenter now. Went for the BIAB technique, and hopefully works out well. Thanks for the recipee!
 
Any of you guys have tasting notes laying around from this still?
Thanks!
