Hey all,
So I just did my first partial mash and decided on a Blanche De Chambly clone. My recipe for 5 gallons was:
3 Lbs Wheat DME
3 Lbs Pilsner
0.5 Lbs Flaked Wheat
0.5 Lbs Flaked Oat
1.0 oz Saaz
0.5 oz Coriander
0.5 oz Orange Peel
0.25 oz Grapefruit Peel
So after about 4 hours of pitching my recultered yeast from a Blanche De Chambly I decided to check up on what things were looking like. What I saw then was slightly surprising; a good 5 inches of trub on the bottom.
Is this normal for witbiers? I'm talking a lot of trub here... maybe even 6 inches of it.
