Mine is pretty standard (based on Rick Larson's), but tried and true. For five gal: 50% pilsner malt 50% wheat (I use 25% malted wheat/25% flaked wheat hoping it will give me some of that raw wheat character) noble-type hops to about 17-19 IBU using Tinseth formula - all 60 min. boil 1/2 oz coriander coarsely ground 10 min. boil .25-.5 oz bitter orange peel 10 min. boil 1/2 oz. coriander in secondary (optional-I really like coriander) wit yeast OG: 1.048 I don't bother with oats, because I can't tell the difference, but there's traditionally 5% substituted for some wheat. I've also tries using raw wheat and it was a huge pain in the ass to find it, gelatinize it, etc. The White Labs version of the wit yeast is kind of finnicky about temperature. My first brew in my new house was a wit, and I didn't even pay attention to the temperature in my basement. The fermentation got stock half done, so I brought it upstairs, and it finished up fine. The temperature was only 2-3 deg. lower than the bottom of the suggested range. This is really good fresh. I usually start drinking mine within two weeks.
