Wheat DME in starter

Thu Dec 08, 2011 5:59 pm

OK, I accidentally bought a pound of Wheat DME (45%/55%) and thought it was Plain Light. I need to do a starter tonight and would need to use 50g Light DME, 100g Wheat DME.

Will this make any difference to my WLP007 as it sits on a stir plate?

You will be just fine using the wheat DME blend without any issues. You really only run in to problems when using simple sugars to make starters, like honey, cane/corn sugar, etc. Have no worries and get to brewing!

Gracias...I wasn't all that worried. Just figured it was worth asking the question. Beer brewed and numbers hit.
