Predicted text hay lol

 

[PD]

looks a nice simple enough recipe. I'm far too inexperienced to comment on the outcome.
Is Torrified wheat the same as Wheat Malt ? as I have some wheat Malt in storage and enough of the other ingredients. What abv does this come out around ?
Have a good brew day.

Should be around 3.5% and as for the wheat i think it is different but should still make a very nice ale let me know how it comes out please :-)

Iv done two brews this week but iv swaped the hops around on both to find out ;-))

Well both came out great I'm liking the challenger hops at 90 mins only because its more balanced :-))
