I wanted to make a good wheat beer for summer even though i typically haven't liked most wheat beers that I have tried. After some research i decided to make a traditional witbier This is what I came up with and I love it!!!
Ingredients
5lbs. 2-Row
4lbs. Flaked Wheat
1lbs. White Wheat
.5lbs Flaked Oats
1oz. Hallertau 4.1AA (60min)
.5oz. Orange Peel (bitter) (5min)
.35 oz Indian Coriander (5min)
WLP400 Belgian Wit Ale Yeast
BIAB Mash @ 150 for 90 min
Mash-out @ 175 for 10 min
Cracked the coriander in a baggie with a plate. I also used a separate hop bag for the orange peel and coriander at the end of the boil i removed the bag with the hops, but let the orange peel & coriander steep for and additional 10-15 min while i chilled the wort.
I used no finings and made no effort to keep trub out of the fermenter ( I wanted it as cloudy as possible..)
Fermented @ 67 and slowly started ramping the temp up to 72 after 3 days
I am very happy with the results of this brew! It's very refreshing and it has a very good yeasty character..
