Putting The White In Wit

[LethalCorpse]

Make sure you get whole coriander seeds and crack them yourself. For one, they filter out much easier than the powdered stuff, but mostly because the aroma of fresh crushed coriander is fantastic.

As andrew says Raw Wheat is important in a wit.

And as Doc says, use some white flour in the last 10 min of the boil. You need to mix the flour with some water to make a watery paste and add that to the boil, never dry flour it will clump and drop out.

Screwy

I always found adding wheat flour was the surest way to make a crystal clear wit. The flour seems to increase flocculation of the yeast!

Just kegged a wit and final ph was 4.4. Not tart enough. Has anyone added acid to their keg to lower Ph in a beer? One book reccomends Lactic acid to ph3.9 for a wit
