    Does this convert OK? It was always my understanding that wheat malt lacks the enzymes to convert itself. Does the carapils have enzymatic ability?


    I took a short one a couple hours ago. It was nice. --

    From my recipe formulations, wheat does indeed lack enough enzymes, the reason my hefe recipes include a pound or two of 6-row is two fold, the uber enzymatic properties, and it adds a nice bready note to the beer.

    As far as I know carapils lacks any enzymes to convert itself
