Hi,

Many thanks

Re: What yeast to use??
Baker's yeast will be fine for a wheat mash. Just pay attention to the ferment temperatures, and it should be fine. I recommend a starting gravity (OG) not greater than 1.075 for the best results. Ferment a batch size large enough for 3 boiler strips and then run the low wines through your reflux column to claim your neutral prize.

Hi, LeeEngland.
still_stirrin knows what he's talking about.
Bakers yeast likes a WARM environment, up to around 90°F if you have an aquarium or belt heater.
