That's definitely a wheat beer. There were enough enzymes to convert?

That crossed my mind as well as we finished up the mash. The recipe I was using was a Jamil recipe but instead of the rye had biscuit malt. I didn't think that the lb would have made a difference with conversion. I figured he knew what he was talking about.

Crafting a blueberry hefeweizen for the wife. My blueberries in the back yard are becoming ripe. I need 4-5 lbs, so i'll have to supplement, probably, from the store. Here's my recipe.

10.0 oz Rice Hulls (Briess) (0.0 SRM) Adjunct 1 4.2 %
6 lbs 8.0 oz Wheat - White Malt (Briess) (2.3 SRM) Grain 2 44.1 %
3 lbs Pilsen (BestMälz) (1.8 SRM) Grain 3 20.3 %
10.0 oz Carapils (Briess) (1.5 SRM) Grain 4 4.2 %
0.50 oz Hallertauer [4.80 %] - Boil 60.0 min Hop 5 7.6 IBUs
0.50 oz Hallertauer [4.80 %] - Boil 30.0 min Hop 6 5.8 IBUs
1.0 pkg Bavarian Hefe Yeast (Gigayeast #GY017) Yeast 7 -
4 lbs Fruit - Blueberry (0.0 SRM) Adjunct 8 27.1 %

Thinking of doing a 2 stage mash. Or maybe even a decoction mash. Never done this before so curious how things will come out.

I plan on reserving 3 gallons of it for the blueberries, and keep 2 gallons of the hefeweizen as is, just to see how it comes out.
