Mahaba,

There's a Belgian wheat beer recipe on Grain & Grapes site: http://www.grainandgrape.com.au/BeerOTM ... rs_wit.htm

...and on Grumpys site: http://www.grumpys.com.au/r1.php3?recipeid=3

Also, Olivers #11, and Geoffs #28 & #29, #72, and #84 homebrews were wheat style beers if you check their recipes.

If all esle fails though, http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q ... DcountryAU

Mahaba, this may be the best advice you will ever get. Always try Google first. Unless you are discussing the price of sex with a streetwalker, of course!

db, I see that like me you are averse to discussing your private business in public!
There is nothing worse than standing on a street corner trying to make your "special" requests known to a drug addled lady of pleasure while being overheard by all & sundry. In my experience this can lead to some nasty misunderstandings, and the occassional arrest.

Praise be the internet age! And here's to brewing in zero gravity, too, a topic which has been preoccupying me all afternoon...

If you are a simple kit brewer - a recipe I use as my standard "clean wheat" is
1 x Morgans Sheaf Wheat Kit
1 x Morgans Master Blend Wheat Malt extract (liquid)
Throw in 250 g extra of Coopers Brew enhancer #2 (or some Light Dry Malt)
and the yeast of 2 cultured Coopers Pale Ale stubbies. - most important.

Prim ferm at about 20deg C - straight to bottle.

Bottles clearly, even out of the primary and has almost no trub in the fermenter and nothing in the bottles either. You get some chill haze but to be expected...

Add some non eucalypt honey for a change. "Its all good" - and so much better than a tooheys.

i am also rallying the troups for an wheat/wit/white/blonde ect ect.
but i am going the all grain route
my recipy at the moment is looking something like

2.50 lb Wheat Malt,
2.50 lb Pale Malt (2 Row)
1.25 lb Oats, Malted
1.25 lb Wheat, whole unmalted
1.25 lb Wheat, Torrified
1.00 lb Oats, roled
0.40 oz Saaz [4.00%] (60min)
0.30 oz Saaz [4.00%] (15 min)
21.00 gm Coriander Seed (Boil 5.0 min)
21.00 gm Orange Peel, Bitter (Boil 5.0 min)

this is compleatly made up and based the full packets of ingrediants i have at my disposal, i am toying with the idea of decoration mashing to better aid the starch brakedown on the unmalted wheat and oats,
i was thinking of just decoration mashing the wheat and oats to conserve the distatic power of the 2row. has any one any exsperiance decoration mashing??
any crytosysum about the recipy is welcome, infact i exspect it, im aware of the lack of enzimes in this mash!! do you`s think i can strech it this far?? .
oh and does anyone have any ideas about the bittering effects on the ibu`s with curato orrange peal this is why theer is such a high sg and low ibu.??

Munkey,

Just to catch up, yes I agree with your assesment on the grains. I was also lead to understand that there is protein reduction, differences in body and possibly extraction efficiency.

Thanks Again
