Partial Recipe For Hoegaarden, Ideas And Suggestions Welcome

[amita]

hi brewers,
I have posted this somewhere else but can not find it back(because it was in the wrong section) so I will try again here.

this is a recipe for a partial Hoegaarden, recommended by a friend, what are your thoughts?

mash at 67C 6 liters of water( in a grain bag)

sparge, using a big colander back into the pot (out of the grain bag)

bring to the boil for 60 minutes

add 70 g Kent Goldings @ 60
40 g Saaz @ 60

add the malt and fermentables @ 90
1,5 L Wheat Malt
1,5 L Light Malt
2.0 L Glucose
800g Dextrose
1500g Malto Dextrin




add 40 g Kent Goldings @ 90
40 g Saaz @ 90
15 g crushed corriander
10 g crushed Cummin seeds
50g Dried orange peel (saville oranges)

flame out @ 95

transfer to fermenter

top up to 50 liters

cool to 20 degrees

add yeast,Wyeast 3944 Belgian Wit.


I remember somebody asking "why so much MD" but cannot answer that as I dont know what MD exactly does in the brew.

any ideas and suggestions would be welcome,to come close to the Original.

cheers amita

I'm having a little trouble understanding your recipe. The following might provide you with a jumping off point for a partial wit beer.
It was developed for use with Kiwi Fruit rather than orange and next time I would replace the wheat grain with all torrified wheat.


Beer: Kwit Style: Belgian White (Wit)
Type: Partial mash Size: 20 liters
Color: 3 HCU (~3 SRM)
Bitterness: 18 IBU
OG: 1.046 FG: 1.008
Alcohol: 4.9% v/v (3.9% w/w)
Grain: 750g Wheat malt
750g Torrified wheat
2kg 300g German Pilsner
200g Rolled oats
Mash: 65% efficiency
Boil: 75 minutes SG 1.062 15 liters
400g Dry Wheat extract
Hops: 15g Hallertauer (4.7% AA, 60 min.)
10g Tettnanger (4.9% AA, 60 min.)
15g Saaz (5% AA, 15 min.)

Where's the partial extract bit ............................... oh there it is, 400g Dry Wheat extract.

The man's original recipe is mostly all extract malts ................

Amita, drinking a Hoegaarden as I type and I'm a bit worried about all that glucose, dextrose and maltodextrin in your recipe. Have you got the sizes / amounts right ??

and check the first bit of your mash - you leave something out ??

Hi Fatgodzilla, I have corrected the mash items and regarding the quantities they are ment for a 50 liter brew,
I must say that my mates brews are in general to the sweeter side...

how did your Hgd turn out????

The following link is a good resource for converting ag brews to pm and a fair bit about the process itself.

http://home.elp.rr.com/brewbeer/extract/pres.pdf

So if you find an AG HG recipe you can readily convert it to partial mash.

I'd get rid of a large majority of the actual wheat malt and replace it with raw white wheat.


Always err on the side of more raw white wheat than wheat malt and you'll do great!

Actually drinking the real stuff - it has quickly become a favourite afternoon tipple.

Not surprised that your mate's stuff is sweet. I thought maltodextrin is non fermentable, there to add body (and residual sweetness ??) Someone can help you there. But I reckon 1.5kg of it is very much overkill as the wheat malt should body for you. Maybe you should try to make a smaller batch than 50l to see how it turns out. 50litres of ordinary beer is an awful lot to throw away !!
