Has anyone tried the Diable Blanche, by (Mark Richmond), recipe in the Brewmaster's Bible?
I'd love to try this recipe. Although it has about everything i'd want to do in a witbier, I'd rather it be more bitter. Perhaps I'd change the sweet orange peel to bitter orange peel. Or maybe even do the boil and primary with bitter orange peel, then use the sweet orange peel at the secondary.
What do you guys think of the recipe?
