Partial Mash Blackberry Witbier

[swoods93631]

Hello All,

I am a learning newb and so far have only done extract brews. A distant family member offered to "sell" me her chest freezer to turn into a kegerator in exchange for a couple small batches of beer. First out she wants a Blackberry beer. I have read on here Wit's are good for a blackberry. I found a few ALL extract and a few AG and a couple funky looking PM's. So I kinda took the info from all the recipes I saw and threw a bit of my own together. Seeing as I am newb this may be a horrible recipe and would like some input from those who know better than I do.

1 lb. 8 oz. Wheat DME

I would add the blackberries to secondary for one week after primary fermentation is complete.

Anyone?

I might offer that a lb of flakes oats may be much for 2 gallons. Maybe 1/2 of 2 row to ensure everything converts.
