Bottling this tonight after 15 days in FV. Hydro read 1.010 last night (started 1.040) and sample was great. Citrus and coriander coming thru nicely. Light, refreshing, I think the wife will love this.
Hi all, quick question for kegging...
I bottled this when I brewed it a couple of months ago. It turned out great, so I plan on making it again. I noticed that after the brews would clear in the bottle, to get the best flavor I needed to gently rouse the yeast up. Do you guys do anything when it's kegged, or do you just pour clear?
Great recipe by the way, BM.
This should be a good base:
3.00 lb Extra Light Dry Extract (3.0 SRM)
1.00 lb Wheat Dry Extract (8.0 SRM)
2.00 lb Wheat, Flaked (1.6 SRM)
1.49 oz Goldings, East Kent [5.00%] (60 min)
0.75 oz Coriander Seed (Boil 10.0 min) Misc
0.75 oz Orange Peel, Bitter (Boil 10.0 min) Misc
1 Pkgs Belgian Witbier (Wyeast #3944 or White Labs WLP400) Definitely want a Belgian Wit yeast though.
Mash your flaked wheat at 155 degrees for 60-75 minutes (the longer will up the efficiency and ABV%)
Strain the wheat grains out and bring wort to boil, add extracts and you know the rest...
Brewed the AG version 18 days ago. Kegged it & have it carbing now hope to have pics by sunday. It tasted very good. This was my first AG

1 oz of bitter orange 20 min
I brewed this about 10 days ago. After 12 hours there was some airlock activity. It continued pretty steady for about 2 days. It slowed down after that but never stopped. Today @ day 10 I went downstairs and krausen was bubbleing up through the airlock. I use the wyeast belgian wit yeast. I know yeast kind of do there own thing but is this a trait of this particular yeast? Any thoughts.
I used the Wyeast Belgian Wit yeast:
First, I had to stop my stir plate with the starter as it continued to come through the top of the 2 liter Erlenmeyer flask.
Second, despite the fact I added Fermcap to the primary, it was coming through the airlock on Day 2. I put a blowoff tube in place and that stayed there for the next 5 days.
I don't think you have a problem on your hands...just some very active yeast!
Just made this in my quest to complete all of Biermunchers recipes. Taste great but it looks horrible. The corriander/orange really comes through but it is way to dark.
