Wounded Knee Wheat
This was my first all-grain recipie. Short fermentation time. Only one week from brew to bottle. The taste at bottling was nice, more hoppy than I would've liked (didn't realize the cascade hops were 8%!). But I think it was sucess! I did wheat mainly because I got a free 50# sack from work. I like the darker brews so added the dark grains to give it some body and the crystal for more head. We'll see in a week what happens. Try it and let me know what you think.
