Default Whole wheat and yeast

Gale, hello from a fellow RIT alum! I was wondering if you had suggestions for baking yeast breads with whole wheat flour? I've had good success using a mix of whole wheat and bread flour, but once you get too high of a ratio it turns into a brick, any ideas?

It's hard to use a lot of whole wheat flour in baking...it's just too heavy. But I usually can replace 1/4 of the white flour with whole wheat and still be pretty true to the recipe.
