White Ale (Witibier)

A classic while ale brewed with wheat, barley, orange peel and coriander. It's lightly hopped and fermented with Safebrew WB-06 Wheat Ale Yeast, resulting in a fruity, spicy yet refreshing beer.

I steeped the grains in 1 gallone of water for 45 minutes, trying to keep the temp between 148-155 was a challenge but I did it. This is going to be a very good brew, thought about using some orange zest also but I'll see how this comes out first.











3.3 lbs Breiss Bavarian Wheat LME
2 lbs Bavarian Wheat DME
1 lb Crushed 2 Row Pale Malt
8 oz Flaked Wheat
8 oz Oats
1 oz Bitter Orange Peel @ 20 min
1 oz Coriander seed @ 20 min
1 oz Willamette @ 60 min
1 oz Sterling @ 15 min
ABV %  - 4.75

The Yeastie Boyz hard at work


Came out great, nice and smooth like a White Ale should be, a tad of spice, good head.
