Re: wit

Since the list is slow, here is a summber beer Andrew and I brewed last month. I don't have my notes here but it should be pretty close. I used Rahr for base malt, may have used German wheat malt instead of Belgian, spices picked up at a local food co-op. We didn't use flaked wheat but used rolled wheat from the co-op. I cooked it on the stove for 10 minutes. The cooked wheat was very stiff, almost like playdough. It wasn't fun mixing it in the mash. I'd recommend you visit your friendly homebrew supply store and pick up flaked wheat. If you have questions, feel free to post them. rick ---------------- Wit 03 Weight Fermentable Extract Lovibond O.G.
