I have a German wheat beer (weizenbeir) kit that only came with 1/2lb of Cara Pils for grains. Because of the tiny amount of grains, it says to start with only 1 gal. of water to steep in. According to John Palmer, that's still too much. Should I try even going down to 1/2 gallon? Secondly, they NEVER say when to add the other 4 gallons of water! Should I add half after steeping, when I add in the extract or just top off all 4 gallons on top of the concentrated wort? Included in the kit were:
6.6 lbs Wheat Malt Syrup
1/2 lbs Cara Pils
3 oz. Hallertau (1/3 added at beginning, 1/3 added with 15 mins left, 1/3 added with 5 mins left)
Yeast
I would appreciate any help. I was planning on starting this in the next hour, but now I'm a little worried.
