Memphis Belle Honey Wheat
This is a version of Skotrats B-52 Honey Wheat. It is a high alcohol, smooth, very drinkable ale. This is my first attempt at an all grain version of this beer. The "flaked wheat" listed in the recipe is actually "torrified (puffed) wheat". The recipe calculator doesn't list torified wheat as an ingredient, so I figured flaked wheat would be a good substitute for calculation purposes.
