Preparation

Brewing Instructions

1. Mash the Grains

In a large brew kettle, heat 3 liters of water to 70°C (158°F). Add the Pilsner malt and wheat malt, stirring to combine. Maintain the temperature for 60 minutes.

2. Boil the Wort

After mashing, bring the mixture to a boil. Add the hops and boil for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, add the hibiscus flowers and sweet orange peel, then boil for an additional 10 minutes.

3. Cool the Wort

Remove the kettle from heat and cool the wort quickly to about 20°C (68°F) using an immersion chiller or an ice bath.

4. Ferment

Transfer the cooled wort to a sanitized fermentation vessel, add the Belgian wit yeast, and seal with an airlock. Allow it to ferment at around 20°C (68°F) for 1-2 weeks.

5. Bottle and Condition

Once fermentation is complete, siphon the beer into sanitized bottles, leaving a little space at the top. Cap the bottles and let them condition at room temperature for 1-2 weeks.

6. Enjoy

Chill the bottles and serve your W3 Hibiscus Orange Imperial Wit in a glass. Enjoy the bright citrus flavors and the beautiful pink hue!
