I completly forgot to buy pilsner malt yesterday and I'm jonesing for a Wit. I know it would not be "authentic", but I have all the other ingredient and the yeast is what is most important - right?

Would you wait (next LBHS run in 2 weeks) or go for it now?

I'd say go for it. It's not going to be that much difference.

I say brew it. Assuming the 2-row is 3L pale ale malt, the difference will not be intrusive.

well to put it in a different light. I have not brewed a Wit with pilsner.

+1. With the yeast profile making up 90% of noticeable flavor in a wit, i'd be surprised if you could notice any difference at all.

I have some Great Western 2-row and Briess 2-row to work with. Per their respective websites, the GW ranges from 1.8 to 2.2L and the Briess is 1.8L. I'll go with the Briess.

Thank you HBT for confirming my intuition.

Just brewed a Belgian Wit on Tuesday and I used 2-row per the recipe. Also used WLP-400 and made a starter (Pilsen Light DME).

Salute!
