I went up to Bobby_M's place with a freakin ton of ingredients and some fresh yeast. I just racked a 5 gallon batch of belgian wit to keg and took along about a half gallon of WLP400 Belgian slurry along with me. We used Bobby's famous always-changing brewstand setup and keggle. We started out with 9 gallons of water and started heating up 4oz of coriander, 3oz of bitter orange peel, and 3oz of sweet orange peel in the water. While we waited for boil, we heated up about a quart of water to boil on the stove and dissolved a pound of belgian candi rocks. Once the keggle hit boil we tossed in 5oz of saaz, 13# of wheat DME, and 7.3# of wheat LME, and the candi water . Real roughly 45 minutes later we killed the burner and started draining the concentrated wort into smaller buckets. We pulled 7gallons through the CFC into my primary, and around ~3.3gallons into a buck for Bobby. A couple cups of the slurry went into Bobby's bucket, and the rest came home w/ me in an apple juice container. When I got home I modded the lid on my new 14.7 gallon primary...1/2" grommet, 1/2 nipple-nipple connector, 1/2" blow off hose. The water was filled to just over 12 gallons and the yeast was dumped in.
At any rate, freakin monster 17 gallon batch, batman!
13# Wheat DME
7.3# Wheat LME
1# Belgian Candi 0L
5oz Saaz 45min
4oz coriander seed
3oz Sweet Orange Peel
3oz Bitter Orange Peel
A crap load of WLP400 Belgian Wit slurry - now 2nd gen.
I forgot to hit it with the hydrometer, but a couple different brew apps put it at 1.052-54. I could check, but I'm lazy and I'm sure its gonna make some kind of beer. Even if its short 10 points we're still sitting pretty w/ the wit.
