Hi coder,

The recipe looks sound. I feel that the addition of 2 cups of wheat flour is too much. Brewers add this flour to the boil to help preserve the cloudiness of the finished product. for a 10 gallon batch, I think that i woould try 1/2 to 1 cup instead.
Also, with the amount of wheat involved, you would probably have to add aroound 1.5 lbs of rice hulls to aid in filtering and to help avoid a stuck mash.
This amount of wheat also dictates that a multi-step mash that has an acid, protein, sac and mash out rest should be used. Be liberal with your water and use about 1.4 qts of liquor per lb of grains.

What ever you do....its all up to you!

Good Luck! I'm sure it will turn out great!

OK, but still Im not sure what kind of grain is that:

6.5 lbs. Belgian White Wheat - I'd say thats a wheat malt
5 lbs. German Wheat - what is it? look like another wheat malt, so where is raw wheat?

Hi coder...

Here's a couple of links that describe both wheat malts better with pictures too! These are the types of wheat malt you should be using::

Hope this clears the air about these wheat malts.
