I have been wanting to take a crack at an "Imperial" Wit for some time, and haven't found many tried and true recipes out there, so I came up with this one. I am relatively new to brewing, and this is my first attempt at making my own recipe. Does this sound like it would be decent? Please be brutally honest. This comes to about $82 on AHB, so I'd rather not waste the money.
