Beer Style: Witbier  (16A)
Recipe Type: all-grain
Yield: 5 US gallons

Witbier

Description:

Surely you must be able to find Hoegaarden in the States? Too me that's the original Wit (which is the real (Flemish) name of the style) even though it's not. If I remember correctly it was revived by Pierre Celis before he moved to Texas from Belgium and started brewing Celis White and Grand Cru. It is now brewed by brewery De Kluis in Belgium and contains a live yeast strain that successfully can be used in your own batch. No need to hand out a lot of money, plus you get to drink a beer!

Here's a recipe I made a couple of years ago, I remember liking the end product then (sorry I only made 10 litres to try it, so it's a small batch).

Ingredients:

  • 1000 grams Pilsner malt
  • 900 grams Wheat malt
  • 120 grams Flaked oats
  • 13 grams Saaz @ 3.6% (90 min)
  • 5 grams Saaz @ 3.6% (15 min)
  • 8 grams dried Curacao orange peel (15 min)
  • 12 grams ground Coriander
  • Hoegaarden culture
