I made a mistake last summer while procuring stuff from homebrew shop. I bought a lot of flaked wheat, 10 pounds. I usually brew 23liter batches
I dont know what beer to brew. It probably wont fit any BJCP style but I dont want to waste it.
Any recipe idea? |

Felix, flaked wheat can be used in many styles. Belgian Witbier is a good choice - you could use several pounds of it there. I would suggest about 70% pale barley malt and 30% flaked wheat. You could also use some in a Saison, perhaps at a slightly-reduced percentage.
Flaked wheat is also a good adjunct to use in Dry (Irish) Stout at around 10%. |

Flaked wheat could be used to make a Belgian Wit. You would need some Belgian Pilsner malt as well to make a Wit. A 50/50 mix of Flaked Wheat and Belgian Pilsner is typically utilized for the base malts of a Wit. For a 23 liter (6 gallon batch) something like 4.5 to 5 lbs. of Pilsner and Flaked Wheat (a total of 9-10 lbs. of base malt) would be appropriate.
If you could make a bigger batch (e.g., a 12 gallon batch) you could use all 10 lbs. of your flaked wheat (you would then need to get 10 lbs. of Belgian Pilsner malt). |

How about trying a dopplebock, something that would use Wyeast 3068? |

I will join the chorus about using flaked wheat in a witbier. But in my opinion nothing about the doppelbock style calls for this ingredient.
If you've ever had the urge to brew a pLambic, flaked wheat can be used there as well. |

WHAT??? Don't be limited or narrow. Flaked Wheat can be used in virtually every beer style to enhance body and mouthfeel. A percent or two is enough. |
