Hi all - I've been asked to make a beer that is much like my "house IPA" only hazy. My experience with hazy is not something I generally try to do. That being said, I have had some success in the past. My questions:
WHEAT: Today, in the "brewery", I have pale malts, pils, some marris otter, crystal 60, and flaked oats. I realize oats will bring haze. But I don't have wheat on hand. I was wondering if there is a grocery store alternative? I'm not inclined to do an order for a single small batch (3gal/ 11 liter).
YEAST: Said house beer uses Wyeast 1056 which generally I find to be a clean/clear yeast. The only other options I have on hand are whitelabs 001 (which is essentially the same as 1056) and wyeast 1450 (Denny's Fav). Any thoughts? This beer will be about 6-6.2% with a simple 2 hop addition of Mosaic/Columbus in the boil and 1 addition of Cascade at the finish.
