So I just picked up some wyeast belgian wit yeast to add to my yeast bank. I am thinking about making a double/imperial wit similar to the Southampton Double White (such a great beer). I am honestly not the biggest wheat beer fan so I am not very familiar with putting these sorts of recipes together. Here is what I have put together so far, any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Double White (5.5 gallons)
Ingredients
8 lbs Pilsner (2 Row) Bel (2.0 SRM) Grain 1 53.3 %
4 lbs Wheat Malt, Bel (2.0 SRM) Grain 2 26.7 %
3 lbs White Wheat Malt (2.4 SRM) Grain 3 20.0 %
1.50 oz Cascade [5.50 %] - Boil 60.0 min Hop 4 22.3 IBUs
0.50 oz Cascade [5.50 %] - Boil 5.0 min Hop 5 1.5 IBUs
0.75 oz Coriander Seed (Boil 5.0 mins) Spice 6 -
0.75 oz Orange Peel, Bitter (Boil 5.0 mins) Spice 7 -
0.25 oz Seeds of Paradise (Boil 5.0 mins) Spice 8 -
1.0 pkg Belgian Witbier (Wyeast Labs #3944) [124.21 ml] Yeast 9 -
