Notes

Based on:

  • Previous Witney Brewston recipes
  • All grain "Blanche Oreiller" recipe and notes from https://byo.com/article/witbier-style-profile/
  • https://beerandbrewing.com/make-your-best-witbier/

    Changes since last brew:
  • Drop hops from 25->20g (was a little bitter)
  • Added salts and acid for target water profile to achieve correct mash ph and give it a rounder flavour. Best to test mash ph with meter before adding acid.
  • Either need to make starter or pitch 2 packs.
  • Increase start ferment temp to 21C. Make sure ferment at that temp before pitching. After fermentation starts, rise 1C per day up to 24C.
  • Don't transfer as much yeast to keg: cold crash to ~10C, and don't intentionally stir up.

    Instructions:
  • Mill all grain (including flaked grain)
  • Chill the wort rapidly to 21 °C, let the break material settle, rack to the fermenter.
  • Oxygenate thoroughly.
  • Ensure fermenter reaches target temp before pitching.
  • Begin fermentation at 21 °C, after ferment starts, raise 1C per day until 26C.
  • Leave for a week after primary fermentation completes.
  • Cold crash to ~10C (no more than 1C/hour) and leave for 1 day before packaging.
