Lemongrass Witbier

 

Not exactly wit season but I am running out of beer styles to try. This is just a standard witbier recipe that I added lemongrass tea to at bottling. It turned out really well with a nice fresh lemongrass flavor. 

Partial Mash, 5 gallon

OG 1.047

FG 1.011

4lbs Wheat Malt

2lbs Pilsner DME

1lb Clear Candi Syrup

1oz Styrian Goldings Hops

4oz Fresh Lemongrass (about 4-5 stalks)

White Labs WLP400 Belgian Wit Yeast

 

Mash grain at 150f, Batch sparge at 175f.

60 minute boil with 1oz Styrain Goldings at :60.

Ferment at room temperature until terminal gravity is reached.

Before bottling chop 4oz lemongrass and steep in 4 cups boiled water with 1/2 cup cane sugar for 1hr. Strain and then add to your bottling bucket.
