COVID19 series - Belgian Wit (WIP)
Classic Belgian Wit
During COVID-19, I’m brewing a batch of beer every two weeks, with different styles, to have a good stock for summer. It allows me to experiment with different styles or improve beers I liked.
A classic Belgian Wit
I wanted to add another summer beer for this Covid19 series. What else that a Belgian Wit. Unfortunately I messed up with my ingredients and was out of flaked wheat so I had to use malted wheat so it’s not totally matching the style.
