I brewed a Belgian Wit (http://hopville.com/recipe/633652/witbier-recipes/witbier-ii) a few weeks ago, and we kegged it yesterday. I put a gallon of it in a glass jug to make my pregnant wife some Non-Alcohol beer.
I heated it to 78C (165-170F) for about 20 minutes, until I couldn't smell much alcohol in the steam. I also steeped some coriander (did not have any bitter orange peel left) for about 10 minutes to replace any flavour lost by the heating. I added 1oz of corn sugar for the yeast to consume for carbonation.
I cooled the wort, took a gravity reading (increased from 1.014 to 1.022 after boiling of alcohol), then poured it into sanitized bottles. I poured in some T-58 yeast to carbonate.
I'll update in a few weeks when the results are carbonated and consumed!
