petes weizen/witbier
Weizen/Weissbier • All Grain • 36 L
Double batch brew. Split between 2 fermenters with 3068 for the Weizen, and WLP400 for the Witbier. A small boil of coriander, orange peel & chamomile was done on the side for the wit too. Initial tastes are promising.

Not bad

Turned out pretty good, the ale malt takes away from the wheat flavours when it warms up, but it's not bad for a first attempt. The Belgian Wit version was a better drop with the orange/coriander addition, so I'd maybe do this again as a straight belgian, but with more wheat.
