I'm preparing a recipe for what will be my second brew attempt (English IPA in secondary now) - a Wit. I'm using Papazian's Grand Cru Clone as a starting point, but want to personalize it a little bit and keep it simple.
Here's what I'm putting in so far:
5 lbs Extra-Light DME (how different is this from Belgian Pils? Does anyone know if extra-light is made from wheat?)
2 lbs Light Honey (not sure on type yet)
1 oz Hallertauer - Boiling
1/2 oz Hallertauer - Flavor
1/2 oz Hallertauer - Aroma
1 1/2 oz fresh crushed whole coriander seed
1/4 - 1/2 oz dried curacao orange peel
Microplaned zest of two tangerines, or one very sweet orange (my addition)
Whitelabs Belgian Wit Yeast
3/4 c. corn sugar
I'm thinking of doing a simple infusion of grains pre-boil of:
malted wheat or
unmalted wheat
rolled oats
Suggestions on any of this appreciated. But trying to keep it simple for now!
