Hi,
Me and one of my roommates made our first AG today. We wanted to make a witbier with ~4.5% ABV and not overly much bitterness. In other words, fizzy yellow beer with a good "nose" and an excuse to make beer with a haziness without having to explain to people that some haze won't kill them
Total Volume:
Mashed in at 122F and heated over 20 minutes to 155F. Kept it there until iodine tests case out neutral.
Used a cheap High-Fermenting yeast.
So what do you guys think?
PS. I was absolutely amazed how well a copper coil chiller works!
