I've been brewing about 90% to BJCP guidlines lately for our local comp coming up soon. It's driving me nuts even with a couple Cat 23 entries.......So, wheat stout next. 50/50 2-row/malted white wheat and Wyeast 1010 this weekend - I'll crash the starter before work tomorrow. 12 gal to the fermenter. I have about 1# of carawheat and chocolate wheat which will go in. Probably some crystal and what else? Thoughts? I made a nice chocolate wheat a few months ago with the cara and choc wheat, but just adding some roasted barley seems too easy and boring............
