White IPA - Partial Mash

White IPA - Partial Mash

Can't decide between brewing a Belgian Wit or an American IPA?  Choose the best of both with this White IPA.  This beer features the citrus and tropical flavors of Citra®, Talus®, and CTZ hops combined with enhanced mouthfeel from a large percentage of wheat malt.  Choose from a traditional Belgian Wit style liquid or dry yeast to add banana and spice flavors that are traditionally in a Belgian-Style Witbier (AKA Belgian White).

• Citra®: strongly tropical and lush with a host of fruit flavors including peach, passionfruit, guava, lychee, grapefruit, lime and gooseberry.
• Talus®: big aromas of pink grapefruit, citrus rinds, dried roses, pine resin, tropical fruits and sage. These unique and impactful aromas remain throughout the brewing process.

This recipe kit DOES NOT  include yeast, priming sugar or grain bags.  However, we do give you yeast options at the top of the page. This recipe was designed using Wyeast 3944 Belgian Witbier liquid yeast. Using an alternative yeast may result in slight variations in attenuation and final gravity.

Yeast Pitch Rate:  We highly recommend preparing a yeast starter or using 2 packets of yeast for this recipe due to the high original gravity (OG) in order to keep the yeast happy and healthy.

Priming Sugar:  For priming sugar, we recommend the following:

• 5 oz Priming Sugar
• Carbonation Drops

Grain Bags:  If you need a grain bag, we recommend the following:

• Large Muslin Bag (Single Use)
• Jumbo Nylon Straining Bag (Reusable)

Hop Straining Bags:  If you need hop straining bags, we recommend the following:
