Ive not tried the flaked wheat, but when I use up the Torrified wheat I have left, I will give it ago :thumb:

First time I have used this yeast, and it seems a little slow to get going to be honest. Which is unlike the other Mangrove yeast I have tired.

Is this from a recipe Armchair or an invention. I like the look of your brewing space by the way, I'm restricted to my kitchen just now

It's an adaption of the Black Sheep riggwelter, but more hops and a lower abv, slightly different grain bill!
I designed the brewing space about 3 months ago, just to make the brew day a little easier :)
