1 lb. 8 oz. Flaked rye
1 lb. 8 oz. Flaked wheat
Mash: 75% efficiency
Infusion mash 153 over night but digestive blend enzymes to emulate. Lower temp mash schedule and because so much unfermentae material in wort.

Gravitys will appear higher because of unfermentals in solution. A sample pre and post can be chilled to separate and measured

14 oz. Honey
Coriander crushed .75 oz orange peel .75 oz
Hops: 1 oz. Centennial (10.5% AA, 70 min.)
1.5 oz. Coriander/oranges (aroma)
Yeast: Wyeast 500 hef
Log: I didn't cold crash the beer this time but little trub just lots of creamy yeast and carbs from grains.
Carbonation: Bottled to 2.5 vol using ch light brown sugar cuz no clear sugars left
Tasting: Flat was like a standard american micro hef just really creamy. Tried to stress the yeast allittle to bring out esters. Perhaps a little more will develop in bottle. Will a dunkleweizen next with a proper ferulic acid rest see if a diff. There were at least 4 types of protean enzymes added to mash.
