WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Notes

Muntons Wheat DME is 55% Wheat, 45% Barley Malt

Using the above assumptions, fermentable quantities adjusted to achieve ~20% Wheat Malt.

After first 24 hrs of fermentation, raise temp. to 78-80 deg F.

Submitted bottle for pre-qualification tasting for 2015 Indian Valley Beer festival homebrew competition. Out of 25 entries, was 1 of 12 chosen to go to the event.
BJCP beer judges comments:
Farmhouse beer, a lot of carbonation, fantastic spicey character, almost too spicey for a Grisette. Doesn't taste table strength. Good heavy minerality. Exemplifes the yeast character well. Mineraly astringent finish. A little chalky. Overall good.

Turned out great! Won 1st place Popular vote and 1st place Judge's vote at 2015 Indian Valley "Brews for Books" Beer Festival.
