- Tasting Notes
- Crisp and tangy. Tart with sweet notes from additions. Very refreshing.
FERMENTABLES:
5 lb Belgian Wheat
4 lb Belgian 2-row
1 lb Carapils
HOPS:
1 oz Hallertauer 4.8%AA 60 mins
1 oz Hallertauer 4.8%AA 3 mins
YEAST:
Belgian Witbier-Wyeast 3944
ADDITIONS:
1 oz Orange peel (15 mins left in boil)
0.5 oz Coriander seed (15 mins left in boil)
0.5 oz Star Anise (15 mins left in boil)
0.5 oz Rose Hips (15 mins left in boil)
0.5 tsp Ginger root (15 mins left in boil)
1.5 tsp Cinnamon Powder (15 mins left in boil)
0.5 tsp Nutmeg (15 mins left in boil)
0.25 tsp Cloves (15 mins left in boil)
0.25 tsp Cumin (15 mins left in boil)
MASH:
Mash at 150 F for 75 mins
12.5 qt at 166 F
Sparge with 18 qt at 170
CARBONATION:
4.5 oz corn sugar
APPEARANCE:
Retains high volumes of the yeast in suspension, giving it the classic cloudy whitish appearance. Nice white head. (Pictures will follow when I get home later today)
TASTING NOTES:
This is a very tasty, very refreshing beer. There is a crisp tartness (from the yeast) that is most noticed when the beer is cold and as the beer warms, the sweet tastes of the spice additions (particularly the cinnamon) come through though they are still subtle enough not to detract from the base beer. I will post a picture of this when I get home later today.
