Brunchmaster 2000 Witbier | Witbier
INGREDIENTS
For 5.5 US gallons (20.8 L)
MALTS
6 lb. (2.72 kg) flaked wheat
4.5 lb. (2.04 kg) Briess pale two-row malt
4 oz. (113 g) flaked oats
HOPS
0.65 oz. (18 g) Amarillo, 9% a.a. @ 20 min
0.5 oz. (14 g) Amarillo, 9% a.a. @ 15 min
1 oz. (28 g) Amarillo, 9% a.a. @ 0 min
WATER
Malt-forward (CaCl 75–100% of Ca additions) water profile that is appropriate for your water. Resist the urge to use gypsum to boost hop crispness; this is a round, balanced to malty beer with heavy hop aroma and flavor, not bitterness.
ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS
0.1 oz. (2.8 g) freshly ground coriander @ 5 min
0.1 oz. (2.8 g) freshly ground bitter orange peel @ 5 min
0.25 tsp. (1.2 g) Wyeast yeast nutrient @ 1 min
YEAST
Wyeast 3944 Belgian Witbier, 1 L starter
SPECIFICATIONS
Original Gravity: 1.050 (12.5° P)
Final Gravity: 1.012 (3° P)
ABV: 5%
IBU: 18
SRM: 3-4
DIRECTIONS
Use BIAB single infusion mash at 152°F (67°C) for 90 to 120 minutes. Stir occasionally, keeping mash between 150 and 152°F (66 and 67°C). Remove bag. Measure gravity, adjust volumes for gravity vs. evaporation rate/boil length if needed to hit target OG of 1.050 and begin boil. It’s very important that you chill immediately and quickly because this is a hop-bursted beer. Delays will cause the beer to be too bitter. Chill to 64°F (18°C), oxygenate and pitch. Fermentation should start low and finish high: let primary free-rise gradually over the course of two weeks, bumping with heat, if needed later in the fermentation, to finish at 78° F (26°C) at the very end. Let sit in primary at 78°F (26°C) for a few days and keg, then chill and carbonate to taste (high level for wit). Ready to drink as soon as it is carbonated.

Do not add more coriander or orange peel to the recipe. Let the Amarillo do the heavy orange lifting. Watch your base malt’s diastatic power, too. Briess 2-row has worked for me, but other malts might have issues fully converting so much adjunct.

DIRECTIONS

To brew this Fresh Squeezed IPA clone, use 1 g/gallon gypsum to treat distilled or reverse osmosis water. Mash grains at 150°F (66°C) for one hour. Do a 90 minute boil. Steep flameout hops for 10 minutes before chilling.
Pitch cooled wort at 67°F (19°C) and allow temperature to rise naturally to 70°F (21°C). When fermentation is complete, dry hop in primary fermenter for five days.

Drink it as fresh as possible (~2-3 weeks after packaging) for maximum late hop character.

Notes: Starting gravity as 1.050

FG was 1.010. 5.25% alcohol.

Nice smooth bitter profile, threw in 1 oz of kent geldings in for dry hopping on the spur of the moment.

Carbonated 4 gallons with 3 oz of dextrose. Wanted it slightly over carbonated as it would not be on draft.

Notes: 6lbs Pilsen LME is a late addition at 15 minutes remaining in the boil.

IBUs being calculated here is wildly incorrect for some reason. This beer wasn't on the bitter side at all.

Note one of the few brews I have had a blowout start on, recommend adjusting the volume to 5gal instead of 5.5 to give more headroom in the primary.

Notes: K.I.S.S!!...easy to brew MAIBOCK for spring or anytime....hops can be strained out before fermentation to emphasize the malt and honey notes. R.D.W.H.A.H.B!!!
