Bump. SWMBO loves the Greatwhite, I doubt she'll be satisfied with anything I make, but I'd love to try just for comparison.

A little Googling goes a long way

Here is the suggested recipe from your link. One thing is Lost coast says they use Humbolt herbs in great white... unless the chamomile and coriander come from the humbolt herb store..
When I look at the AG version of this it would be different. With the wheat I'm not sure why this recipe calls for carapils as well. looking at this I'm not sure this is accurate to the beer.

Quite possible it's inaccurate; I've not actually tried it myself, but it's the only promising thing that came up.

I've also heard the Kaffir lime leaves can be used in place of Chamomile.
Aside from that, as I understand it, the Great White (which i too, love btw) seems to be a standard Belgian Wit, with the addition of "humbolt herbs"
I personally just made a wit with a little bit of chamomile thrown in at the end of the boil.
Seemed to give it a smoother taste IMO.

I made this recipe about two months ago. At first it seemed like a pretty close match. The spices slowly tailed off. I plan on shooting for round two this weekend. I was thinking about adding coriander to the secondary this time.
