It's five below....I think I'll brew a witbier



A very cold day, and I need to brew a witbier. My homebrew club has a little competition on the night of the NCAA finals and this year it's about wit. So be it.

My recipe:

Organic pale ale
white wheat
flaked oats
sweet orange peel
bitter orange peel
mystery herb

Did an infusion mash at 150-152F for an hour. Kind of soupy but the oats did suck up quite of bit of the excess

It's cuddled up next to the coal stove.....the warmest place in the house.

So goes this, my first post as a blogger. I meant to get started on New Year's Day when I brewed my first recipe of 2007, but I never got around to it.
