Ok, so I'm going to post two recipes here that I need to pick for my first brew. I consider myself pretty intelligent and handy... so I'm not very scared of doing an extract+specialty grain. However, I'd like the opinion of others to assist me.
I love me some Belgian White Ales, so I was looking for a Wit Beer to start with. However, here are my two options -
Thanks

6.6 pounds of Coopers Wheat Malt Extract (boil 10mins)
1lb wheat malt (steep 30mins)
1 pound of clear Belgian candi sugar
.5 ounces of bitter orange peel (boil for 2 min)
1 ounces of tettnanger hops @ 4.2% (boil for 10 min)
1 ounces of styrian golding hops @ 4.4% (boil for 30min)
.75 ounces of coriander seed (boil for 2 min)
1 pkg of wlp400 or you could use wlp410.
0.75 cups of corn sugar (priming)
Everyone that has had this so far has loved it. I'll probably do it again as a partial mash.
Also the color is much darker than 4* since I used LME.
Quite a while since I made this up. For an outstanding white that is AG only, see my Killer Bee Wit.
