Notes

Witbier in Belgian style with addition of bitter orange peel and crushed coriander seeds. May add some Valencia orange zest as well to accentuate citrus flavor. Will crush coriander in Barley Crusher or using spice grinder. This batch will employ 1.5 liter yeast starter set up the night before brewing. Will use Hallertau exclusively for this, with 2.0 oz at start of boil for bitterness and 0.5 oz at 45 min. for a hint of flavor.

Color with Belgian Pale malt is a little darker than the style calls for, but yields a wonderful yellow/orange hue akin to Blue Moon. Really attractive appearance that will hopefully announce the citrus/orange flavor in this.
