Question for Mark Hewes Hefe recipe

[John]

You use 2 lbs of raw wheat in your house hefe recipe.  Do you do a cereal mash on it and how fine do you usually crush it?

[Mark Hewes]

With the grain I get from my Dad, which has been pretty shriveled due the drought the last few years, I set my mill as close as I can and achieve a pretty thorough crush.  I usually boil it for 15 minutes before adding it to the rest of the mash.  Get protein for head and wheat flavor.  Hope this helps.  Can’t wait to try it some day.

John, I use raw wheat in my Belgian Wit and Hefe recipes. I use a coffee grinder to grind the raw wheat to  "salt" size.  I then do a "cereal mash" with 20% of the 2-row or 6-row. I use the following rests at 15 minutes each: 122, 158, boil and then combine this mash with the main mash which has been sitting at 122 waiting. I usually grind the raw wheat the night before because depending on how big of a coffee grinder you have, it could take a while. I highly recommend 1 lbs. of rice hulls per 5 gal. batch with raw wheat recipes.
