So today I brewed my first batch of beer. Michael and I made a Witbier, AKA Wheat Beer. I had no clue what was going on at first but we got the hang of it. Our recipe called for flaked wheat, German Vienna Malt, and Belgian Caramel Munich Malt as well as liquid malt extract. Our beer also included coriander and orange peel and Czech Saaz hops. Once we got into the swing of things, it was a lot easier than I expected. Once we transferred it into the fermenter and then into the carboy, we pitched the yeast. Now to play the waiting game. It was a lot of work but it wasn't too overwhelming. Now to fill my day with nonsense and tomorrow I'll wake up bright and early for our flight to Berlin.
Auf Wiedersehen!
Congratulations on your first batch! This is usually a nice style - here's a link to the beer judge certification program description of Witbier!
