Notes

An American in Belgium. American Wit? Belgian APA? Probably not BJCP compliant – just very, very tasty!

Note on the yeast: M21 has medium attenuation when mashed at 65°C, usually around 70 %. Results in a full-bodied beer with some residual sweetness.

Note on fermentation: 18°C for primary to avoid too much banana, and then slowly raise it to 22°C for the rest of the fermentation period. After primary the yeast may «stall» around 1.020, and the increase in temperature helps it along.
