AG#4.....again

[Cactus Jack]

Looking to brew my wheat beer again. Looking forward to this as I really liked the first http://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=49051 but believe a few tweaks will make it special. Keeping the Saison liked the spicy notes it imparted, but will look to increase the orange peel. However, I would prefer more body so will take Pittsy's advice and step mash 63c for 20 and 71c for 40 before mashing out. Hopefully this will still give a dry'ish brew but will impart more body. Another one to look forward to. :

for a wit style i would do 30 mins at 63c then finish off at 68c for 45 mins :thumb:

Brewed this today all went well. OG of 1.048 so good efficiency. :thumb: Will update when bottling.

Bottled this today with a fg og 1.005 :-o after several readings. Gives an abv of 5.5. Body much better, so cheers to kitty's mash recommendations.
