Belgian Ginger Wit: first wit beer how does it look?

[arnobg]

5lb Pilsner (Weyermann)
4lb Pale Wheat (Weyermann)
6oz Flaked Wheat

0.75oz Hallertau Mittelfrueh (4.2AA) (60min)
0.5oz Hallertau Mittelfrueh (3.0AA) (30min)

1.25oz fresh zested ginger root (10min)

1 WLP400 with starter



OG: 1.052
IBU 15.2

Appreciate any opinions, never done a Belgian Wit or used ginger before.

Is that a ok amount of flaked wheat or should I skip it completely? How about the grain ratios? How about the yeast selection would something else be better? I was considering some zested lemon too but not sure how much.

I think with the amount of grain you are using, you can up the flaked malt amount. It will probably give you a better mouthfeel in the end product. Your yeast choice is a good standard from WLP. If you do not get enough of the ginger flavor from the boil addition, you can always add fresh grated ginger to you secondary.

So like 12-16oz ?

In that range should be good.
