Belgian style wit has subtle shades of pink and red from the hibiscus and a bright citrus flavor from the orange peel and hop additions.

In a large mash tun, combine the pale malt, wheat malt, and flaked wheat. Add 3 gallons of water at 165°F to achieve a mash temperature of 150°F. Stir to ensure all grains are wet.

Prepare the Mash

Let the mash rest for 60 minutes. This allows the enzymes to convert starches into fermentable sugars.

Mash Rest

After the mash rest, sparge with enough water (approximately 2 gallons) to collect around 6 gallons of wort in the kettle.

Sparge

Bring the collected wort to a boil over high heat.

Boil the Wort

Once boiling, add the bittering hops and hibiscus flowers. Boil for 60 minutes.

Add Bittering Hops

With 15 minutes remaining in the boil, add the flavor hops and dried orange peel.

Add Flavor Hops and Orange Peel

After the boil, cool the wort quickly using a wort chiller or an ice bath to around 70°F.

Cooling the Wort

Transfer the cooled wort to a sanitized fermenter and pitch the Belgian wit yeast.

Pitching Yeast

Seal the fermenter with an airlock and allow the beer to ferment at around 68°F for 1-2 weeks, or until fermentation is complete.

Fermentation

Once fermentation is complete, prepare a priming solution of sugar and water (typically 3/4 cup of corn sugar in 2 cups of water). Boil and cool the solution.

Prepare for Bottling

Siphon the beer into sanitized bottles, leaving about an inch of headspace. Add the priming solution to each bottle, cap them, and store at room temperature for carbonation.

Bottling the Beer

Let the bottles condition for at least 2 weeks before chilling and enjoying your W3 Hibiscus Orange Imperial Wit.
