OK, I mashed with a 20 minute dough in, a 20 minute protein rest and a 40 minute conversion. O.G. came out high (1.52)and finished low (1.001). The Burton's Ale yeast gave the look and smell of a belgian wit yeast through fermentation. Color was good, creamy white head, and a flavor like a wit! I will be trying this again, but with a cream ale yeast.

I brewed this again last weekend with the same mash schedule. Does not smell like a wit this time, but I haven't bottled it yet. I will put up taste notes once I do.
