Blue Moon Slayer
Witbier • All Grain • 10.5 gal
Went low on the addition of the corriander and bitter orange peel to see what the yeast has to add first. This can always be adjusted on the next round.

Wyeast 3463 Forbidden Fruit™
Wyeast 3463 Forbidden Fruit™
From classic Belgian brewery for production of wits to classic grand cru. Phenolic profile with subdued fruitiness. Seasonal availability.
Notes
Mash to hold at 150 for 60 min. and raise the mash temp to 168 for 10 min. Drain first runnings- rinse grains with enough 170 degree water to collect 12 gallons. I split the batch between 2 5 gal fermenters and used the Forbidden Fruit WYeast 3463 and Fermentis T-58 as a test. The honey (local wildflower) was just an extra touch for crispness, added the last 5 mintes of the boil with the 1 oz bitter orange and 1/2 oz of cracked corriander.
