Description

We love Allagash White, and we love Belgian Witt beer, so we felt it was time to work on a way to experience this beer on a more regular basis rather than the rare occasion you get lucky and find it on sale here in the UK. We love this beer so much we have introduced two new hops to our range just so we could brew this recipe.

You will require bitter orange peel, coriander seeds and grains of paradise to brew this beer, these are not included as you will be repeat ordering it and won’t want a full bag each time.

Adding first hops 60 minutes before flameout.

Add Saaz hops and ground spices at flameout, and whirlpool 5 minutes.

Chill wort to 17° C and ferment for 7 days, allowing temperature to free rise to 23° C and ferment to completion.

Don’t fear the yeast, this beer is supposed to be cloudy.
