Wheat Beer/White Beer Recipe

I do. In fact, I know several places.

I laughed 'til I shat ! (Brian is such a funny name)

Belgian wit is pretty simple.

5 gallons - 5 lbs pale malt 5 lbs raw wheat berries (you can find these at stores like Whole Foods a lot cheaper than a homebrew store. The Whole Foods by me carries them for $0.79 a pound when the HBS wanted $1.20 or so). 2 lbs steel cut, or flaked oats. 3 oz saaz hops (~4 AAU) .5 oz Coriander at 5 mins in boil

Gelatinize the wheat (and the oats if not flaked) by cooking them in about 1.5 quarts of water per pound until soft and then I usually take an emersion blender to them to break up the berries.

Mash everything for pretty good body, around 156 or so.

For the hops I only use about .5 oz full boil and reserve the rest for flavoring and bittering. Pitch a good Belgian liquid yeast with .5 gallon starter (Whitelabs makes one specifically for wit) or culture one.
