Is standard wheat ok to use ?

Excuse my ignorance, why flaked ?

Also - with regards to WLP500 - I can grow up a sh1t3 load and distribute.

Unmalted but pre gelatinised. Leaves starch for the bugs and bacteria to feed on later.
We could use corn or rice also but wheat is the more traditional recipe.

Growing up starters would rock. Also we can maybe put in a bulk buy for the flaked wheat, as I'm guessing a lot dont have any...

Sorry I missed Nigel's post!

Looking good so far.

We have a bag of pilsner for any one that wants some (for a donation  >:D)

If James grows up a batch of yeast then we are looking good

O will trust Nigels bug farm anyday - plus what we have already!

Sugeest a GB of the flaked wheat.

Our next meet is the 14th of April in the '44.

Shall we make this a goal for diving up the ingredients?

And start the brews straight after?

I'll be putting in an order to HBW soon enough to pick up my winning malt so I can get whatever we need. Save on shipping.

nigel_c

Yep. Saw that. I used corn and did a cereal mash for my last sour. Full turbid mash. It's a lot of extra steps that can be skipped by using flaked.

nigel_c

I did it with the corn for the last batch. Cerial mash followed by the turbid mash. It never cleared properly. Still has a haze to it. Something must have gone wrong somewhere. Tasty though.
I didn't see whole wheat so looked for alternatives.
