Howdy Folks
Last weekend while buying specialty grain for my next brew, a Bourbon Porter off the NB website, I bought flaked wheat vs pale wheat malt.
My thought was to continue on and bump up the base grain by a pound to make up for lost fermentables. I'd still get some added wheat flavor, improved mouthfeel, and enough of a change to not be NB's recipe lifted clean.
