Witbier
Type: All Grain
Date: 10/4/2008
Batch Size: 5.50 gal
Brewer: Hagen
Boil Size: 7.00 gal Asst Brewer:
Boil Time: 60 min Equipment: Brew Pot (6+gal) and Igloo/Gott Cooler (5 Gal)
Taste Rating(out of 50): 35.0 Brewhouse Efficiency: 89.00
Taste Notes: Bananna ester blends well with the orange flavor. Sweeter and heavier mouthfeel than Blue Moon. I've done this recipe both as infusion and decoction. The decoction mash is reccomended, the end result is far superior.

Sparge Temperature: 168.0 F TunTemperature: 72.0 F
Adjust Temp for Equipment: TRUE Mash PH: 5.4 PH
Decoction Mash, Double Step Time Name Description Step Temp
35 min Protein Rest Add 11.99 qt of water at 137.6 F 125.0 F
20 min Saccharification Decoct 4.08 qt of mash and boil it 147.0 F

10 min Mash Out Add 4.11 qt of water at 204.3 F 168.0 F
Mash Notes: Used for some authentic German styles. Attempt to draw decoction from the thickest portion of the mash. Profiles vary. Some traditional German mashes use a long acid rest at 40 deg C. Also some sources recommend the decoction amount be given a 15 minute saccharification rest at 158 F (70 C) before boiling it.
