Wyeast 3944 Belgian Witbier™
A tart, slightly phenolic character capable of producing distinctive witbiers and grand cru-style ales alike. Alcohol tolerant.
Notes
Mashed in at 150 with 2.5 gals of liquor. Mashed for about an hour before we discovered a lack of iodine, hopefully it converted! Sparged with 5 gals of 170F liquor and boiled for one hour making hop additions as noted. Added DME at boil and about 1 gallon of water.

FG was actually 1.090! The boil was alot stronger than expected... this was originally planned to be a 6 gallon witbeer spinnoff, it has almost become a weizenbock by strength. We may add 1 gallon of distilled water to the primary, just to bring it back into expected ranges of malt and bitterness. ...Damn I am hung-over.
