Unmalted wheat v flaked wheat
I want to make a beer that uses unmalted wheat. The only homebrew supplier I can find who stocks it doesn’t do free p & p on big orders so I will effectively be paying £8 extra to use unmalted wheat rather than flaked. So, is it worth paying that much extra.

WY1968/1028
I have a recipe that suggests WY1968. I have some harvested 1028, will this be OK as a substitute? I just looked on the Malt Miller charts and I see it’s isolated from Worthingtons, which I can’t help letting put me off it!

Re: Saison
It’s in James Morton’s book. He describes it as a ‘finishing yeast’. I’ve found his recipes to be pretty good and I did use this last time, but reading all of these comments, I might just try without or adding some diastolic saison after a few days. Sadfield - should have made it more clear, the eru...

Re: Saison
Interesting. I’ve just had a brew erupt through my airlock so I suppose that’s now open fermenting in its own way!!

OK, so just a tiny contact with the air, then?

Re: Saison
That looks interesting. Chris White’s suggestion was to follow up Saidon with WLP001 which I’m struggling with as a concept.

Re: Saison
Thanks, Jockey. Your reasoning is the same as Chris White’s. I used the same yeast (second generation having pitched it into a Bierce de Garde first) also starting cool getting it pretty hot and I reached 1..08. I’ll try the long slow mash next time. How do you manage an open fermentation? My curren...

Saison
I made a Saison using James Morton’s recipe. He suggests decanting the brew after the saison yeast has flocullated and adding champagne yeast to dry it out further. I did this and it was an excellent brew, one of my favourites, so I’m reluctant to fiddle with it, but I’m just reading Chris White’s b...

Re: Would this work...
Thanks for all the advice, guys. I was thinking of just leaving it to mash for the two hours I was out but it was the first time in a while I’ve used my bigger mash tun and I was unsure it would hold enough heat... rightly as it turned out!

Re: Would this work...
Well, it would be no worse than overnight mashing, which some people consider fine. The only potential issue I can see is continued mash reactions during the stand time changing the sugar balance of the wort. Maybe mash at a slightly higher temperature to compensate? Jim, What an honour!! I was thi...

I’m trying to cram a brew into a busy day. If I mashed and sparged then left the wort for around two hours before I boiled it, would that be ok?

Enville Ale and Bathams Bedt
It’s been asked before and met with a stony silence, but does anyone have a recipe for Enville Ale, a favourite of mine when I lived near to the brewery.
Likewise, Bathams, quite a distinct pale bitter, I lived right by the brewery for that one.

Inline filter
I've just had an online flyer advertising an inline filter to 'brew better-tasting and clearer beer, with less waste, and without pumps or additives! Simply connect the filter between your racking cane and keg, or between your boil kettle and fermenter (temperature-safe up to 150 degrees!).' Simple ...

Re: Fermenter size
Thanks for all the advice. It's kind of what I thought, but reassuring to hear from others.
