Witbier recipe guides?

[aseelye]

Hi, I've been wanting to put together a witbier, and my invaluable reference - Designing Great Beers - seems to be of little help. Other than looking at clone recipes etc, does anyone know of any good resources to find out what makes for a truly great witbier?

Papazian's book has a chart in it with several basic witbier templates... you should get it... or I can get (make) you an Excel spreadsheet

Didn't even think of TCJOH, thanks.

No problem, just glad i'm actually of use... are you Extract or AG?

The Hoegaarden clone in my signature is a great tasting Wit and easy enough to brew (but requires a few steps). You have to let it settle for a long time before it's true to form though, but then POW, you'll have a dead-ringer for Hoegaarden (except for the color. Mine ended up orange due to the DME).

Hey, what did the wit beer recipe end up looking like. I'm thinking of doing a partial mash, I'd be interested in knowing if anyone has any suggestions
