Brought back from obscurity by Pierre Celis at the Hoegaarden brewery, Witbier is a great refreshing beer. With plenty of un-malted wheat along with a portion of oats, Witbier is typically cloudy with a soft grainy sweetness. Belgian Wit Yeast adds subtle banana fruitiness and clove notes, which are enhanced through the addition of coriander seeds and fresh orange yeast.
In addition to what is included in the kit you will need 12g of coriander seed and 45g of orange zest (or the zest of your favourite citrus fruit).
Yeast is not included in the kit. We recommend using Froth Unicorn (Assumed Origin: Hoegaarden), or you could use Lallemand Lalbrew Wit or Mangrove Jack's Belgian Wit Yeast.
