Wit

Today was an exciting day - I brewed my first ever Belgian Wit - a wheat beer that is brewed with a significant amount of unmalted wheat. I absolutely love the style, and so does my wife - no idea why I had never brewed it before. Just never got around to it I suppose - so many beers and so little time. Being unemployed has its advantages I suppose.

The grainbill that I chose was recommended by a few friends. I knew that a basic Wit was 50% malted barley and 50% unmalted wheat, but it was recommended that I included some rolled oats at 5%, so I reduced the unmalted wheat by that amount and went for it.
