It is brewed with water from the West End brewery. So a quick trip to the brewery then hbs to pick up some supplies because I want to crank out 4 brews in a row so I can have a variety on hand.
1.7kg Black Rock Whispering Wheat.
1kg Wheat Malt
150g Crystal (not in kit, my addition). I steep grains in a strainer so I can lift it straight out.
Orange Peel and coriander in tea strainer steeped in with the wheat malt.
Safbrew WB 06
23 L
OG 1.037 at 28 deg
Should work out at ~4% in the bottle.
Brew is being held between 16 and 18 deg in a fridge set at the warmest temp setting and unplugged overnight then plugged back in during the day as required.
SG is now 1.017

Yes. A decoction pot full of boiling malt, preferably munich.
Brewing a dark mild today with 50% rye (30% malted rye, 10% caramel rye, 10% chocolate rye). Only hop addition is homegrown Victoria flowers at 10 mins. Split batch. Half gets WY1272. Half gets Brett Trois.

Answers to rhetorical questions? 50% Rye brews? Deliberate infections? Are you sure you're a Doctor?
