Re: Wit

Mike, Great recipe :-). I didn't mention water so we all should brew one and to compare water profiles throughout the Twin Cities. I'm pretty sure I used pre boiled Minnetonka Chalk Soup (tm) but I would like to try Minneapolis city water (my favorite brewing water) some time. I used a Brewtek Wit yeast for the Sherlock's wit. Here is an idea. Brew 20 gallons of wit using Mike's three sasion yeasts. Brew 20 gallons of sasion with your 'wit' yeast starter. If the yeast isn't too beat up, brew some tripel.

I did find a couple of mine on mnbrewers.com under "Recipes" but they are geared toward a specific volume. 50% pils malt 25% malted wheat 20% unmalted wheat 5% flaked oats OG 11-13 Plato 15 - 17 IBUs of continental hops (EKG, Saaz, Styrians, ... think Weizen) 0.75 grams/liter coriander 0.33 grams/liter bitter orange wit yeast (brewtek makes a great one, White Labs, YCKCo, ...) Feel free to use all malted wheat or all unmalted wheat. I like the mix. Malted wheat gives more body and mouthfeel than the unmalted wheat but remember this is a summer lawn mower beer. George Fix mash schedule (40C, 60C, 70C) or single step. Drink in two weeks. rick -- Rick Larson rick(a)adc.com
