Update : I may be biased, but this is the best Wit I've ever had. It's winter, yet it was 60 degrees out. I know this is a summer brew, but it was damn good while I was grilling steaks tonight!

29 days later, and I just cracked open a bottle. I marked the top with a "?" so I would know which one was the twist off. It poured a nice 1" head, nicely carbonated, and I swear is the best Belgian Wit I've ever consumed. I have no doubt in my mind that the rest of the batch will be the same...

Thanks for the responses, I only had 3 empty sanitized bottles left, but 4 capped twistoffs. I ended up pouring 3 of them of them in the clean bottles I had, and left the 4th in the twist off bottle. I just took a sharpie to the caps of the four in question. I'll probably taste test one of them...

Its only 4 bottles btw...I just can't stand alcohol abuse by pouring them down the drain

Just bottled a batch of Belgian Witbier, I notice a few caps were stubborn to put on. After bottling everything, I was drying all the tops with a cloth, neatly packing them away for bottle conditioning, and long and behold found the culprit to a few of the stubborn tops. Somebody (cough...

Howdy neighbor! I'm in Lynchburg, not too awfully far from Pints 'o Plenty

Temp in the fermenting room is now 66, the bucket temp is 64-66. The air lock is not as aggressive as it was when it was 20 hrs in, but it is still releasing CO2

I just noticed my airlock not active anymore (48 hrs in) yesterday it was popping every 3-4 seconds. My concern is the temp when I just looked at it. 62 degrees in my basement bathroom. I just turned the heat up in the house by a few degrees. I'm using a Safebrew s-33 for a Belgian Witbier.

Sounds good! ginger, lime, and lemon is sounding like Starr Hills Lucy beer, which I like, and they no longer make. The reviews of that particular beer wasn't that great. But too each their own I guess, cheers!

I pondered the thought of using a tsp of ground clove when popping my coriander seeds but thought I might regret it. I did however mash up two whole cloves. I don't think it will make any difference, but I can say I added a hint.

Just started a thread over in the Extract Brew thread with a Belgian Wit https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f37/another-belgian-wit-recipe-365206/

So, I just got into HB , this being my 3rd ever (Look at the "Introductions" thread for my first post ever) I went to my LHBS in search of a Witbier kit (Brewers Best) and they were out of them. My LHBS had a truck coming in the next day with tons of ingredients and kits, but I wanted to get...

Cheers all :mug: Short time lurker here, just getting into the HB thing, got a Belgian Wit in the primary as I type, and just like any newb, I'll have questions! I'll post my recipe in the Extract brewing section. This is my 3rd ever brew, the first being a Mr beer....:cross: The second...
