This past year I've brewed seven wheat beers using Mr. Beer extracts and assorted types of yeasts. Some recipes have included a lot of adjuncts as well, like orange, grains of paradise, clove and coriander. In this next batch of wheat beer that's being planned now I want to include steeping wheat malt into the recipe. The purpose of adding steeping grains to my recipes is to add more complexity to the finished beer while I learn the basic concepts of brewing great tasting beer with grains.
I used qBrew's default 'Witbier' style guidelines to crunch the recipe's numbers.
