In a large mixing bowl combine yeast, water, brown sugar, salt and the 1/2 cup of flour. Beat until smooth. Cover and let stand in warm place 15 minutes. Add to this mixture the scalded milk, honey, salt, whole wheat flour and wheat germ. Beat 2 minutes with electric mixer and gradually stir in about 3 1/2 cups white flour. Form into smooth ball on floured surface. Cover with bowl and let rest 10 minutes. Knead thoroughly and divide into 2 or 3 balls. Cover with bowl and let rest again. Shape each ball into a loaf and place in 2 well-greased standard loaf pans or 3 8x4-inch pans. Cover and let rise in warm place 45-60 minutes, or until doubled in bulk. Bake at 375 F for 35-40 minutes.
