I'm a newbie (started a month ago) and I've been trying to determine the correct ingredient proportions for a 5 gallon batch of partial mash honey wheat beer. I listed what my tentative recipe and the ingredients I have below, but I'm curious to see if anyone has any favorites, corrections, or suggestions. Here is what I am thinking, although I could be terribly off the mark:
Mash or steep (?) 2 lbs milled malted wheat, add 5 lbs. (?) Munton's wheat DME (55%/45%), 1 oz of Hallertau @ 60 minutes, and 1 oz of Hallertau @ 5-10 minutes, and pitch the W3638. Would this be too sweet? Should I also steep or mash the honey malt - or just add 1 lb. honey at flame-out? Holler at me with any suggestions or preferred proportions. Great to be a part of the forum!
