I have some Wyeast 1010 that has been used for an Am Rye and an Am Wheat. The wheat is ready to keg and I want to use the yeast again. Later in the year I would usually make an Americanized Dunkelweizen or Weizenbock. But this will be a Summer sipper.So how much flaked spelt can I put in? Honestly it's been a long time since I used any flaked wheat and this should behave the same (I guess, only used spelt a time or two). Pilsner and/or Am 2-row will be the base malt. I'm thinking 20 - 25% with some rice hulls is about the max without a step mash - which I don't really want to do this weekend. Guess I'm concerned about conversion and wallpaper paste. Any thoughts?

I think that your thought process is right on, although I have never seen or used flaked spelt. Keep your sparge temp up and rice hull it. You will pull through just fine.

A beta-glucanese rest wouldn't hurt things.
