50/50 2-row and red wheat. I expected 53 gp in the fermenter. Got 44. Strange. One of the few times I blew off mash temps since it's always what I expected. I haven't used red for a while. Smaller but not much different from rye malt size. I thought the grist looked good. And I know you don't get quite as much from red vs. white but not 1.044 when 1.052 was anticipated. I may goose this with some sugar, or not.

What are you using to chew through the grain? What type of attenuation will that afford you?

I find Red wheat to be more gummier than the white.Not really noticed much difference with the amounts i am using, i would believe at 50% i should tell the difference- if there is much difference.
Should still be a Tasty Brew.
