Yeah, you accidentally added Wheat to a beer.
Oh yeah? Well… do you know how I know your beer has no head retention?

I just think that Wheat is a good way to cut malt flavor. Something I would rarely want to do.I get that - I was just wondering why he was anti-wheat. I use small amounts on occasion b/c like drez I have some I'm using up.

*She may have said that Carafoam will help head retention without cutting the malt flavor.
Heck, even your math tried to reject the wheat.
LOL.
Actually cutting the malt flavor is pretty much the only way I use wheat.

Here it is on day 11. Ready for primetime. Not crystal clear but pretty clear nonetheless. It turned out pretty much exactly as I thought it would. Super easy drinker with light but distinctive malt flavors. Bready but not too much. Hint of nuttiness from the yeast. The Light Carastan doesn't stand out at all (as I kind of expected) but I am sure I'd notice if it suddenly went missing. EKGs are subtle but not present. Best of all the wife loves it... so if no one else there cares for it I will have pleased the most hard to please palette and the one that matters most. I can definitely see myself making this again. Thanks to all who responded and help me put this together.

Wow, that was FAST! That looks pretty damn nice for an 11-day-old beer. My keg of this type of beer just kicked in the past week and I may make another one but I don't have any more English ale yeast so I would have to pick some up. Good luck with your event/gathering and make sure you soak up all the appreciation that should be coming your way for all the brewing you did. Cheers and nice work.
I'm thinking if I wanted to I could nearly pull off something similar with the bitter galaxy I just brewed if I wasn't planning on dry hopping it.

Thanks Ken!
