That looks very much like my own tried and tested Wit!
The only suggestion I would offer is to use Indian Coriander. It has much more citrus aroma than the earthy regular coriander.

Thanks for the suggestion atregent! I'll make note and consider that for next time...

It's very similar to mine as well, though I use (for 12 gal): 3 oz. of fresh orange peel (actually, if you can get some different oranges, a mix of tangerine, navel, mandarin and tangelo works very nicely and gives it a bit of depth. Additionally, I'll add about 2g of chamomile at 5 min.
As it warms up, the chamomile comes out and changes the character of the drink. so far, i've had nothing but compliments for the recipe.

Is it intentional that the hop addition is at 60 min but the recipe also calls for a 90 minute boil?

The 90 minute boil is to make sure all the DMS boils off, common boil time for pilsner malts. I suspect that boiling hops for more than 60 mins would introduce some undesirable characteristics though

Correct.

Correct again. It may - I'm not sure. There's no benefit boiling longer so I don't / don't take the risk.

My house beer is wit. Starting brewing in the summer, but now brew it year round. I use cheap 2-row instead of pilsner malt. I also bump the alcohol up 5.8% or so. I do use chamomile and a little less coriander. I also started using imported bitter orange marmalade instead of orange peel. It adds a little sugar, but so much easier and fresher tasting than peel. I always do the 122 F protein rest, you ever try without it?

Nope! Not with this beer/grain combo.

Hey Kal, I have been reading so much conflicting information on this, as 50% of people say you don't need a protein rest with Flake Wheat( which is just rolled terrified wheat) as it is pre-gelatinized. But then others say you need it as it is still a prime candidate for the benefits of a protein rest. Can you clarify this for us? Thanks

I just finished the first keg on this batch. Nice light wheat. I'll run this one again early next summer. Have a long schedule planned between then & now.

I've just made your fine recipe for this beer and I'm about to keg. As this beer is normally cloudy when served, do you bother to use gelatin and/or crash cool?

Thanks Kal. What I will do then is keg straight from the primary - I didn't bother to use a secondary. Been at 1.011 for 4 days now, so ready I think.
