Hi all.
I have an AG recipe that I want to brew using extract. However, my question concerns the wheat in the recipe. I understand that you can't steep wheat, so wondered what the solution would be? I've been told the wheat in the recipe is mainly for head retention, so was considering swapping it for the same amount of Carapils and steeping that instead. Anyone got any thoughts?
Here is the basic recipe for info:
Bath Gem 23litres
Maris Otter 91%, Crystal 4%, Wheat 4%, Chocolate 1%.
Hops Bittering Challenger, Aroma Goldings to IBU 22-25
Thanks!
