Bitchin' Monk Witbier

This is from my own private label, Seeing Double Brewery. Bitchin' Monk is in the style of a Belgian Witbier. It is wheaty, golden, and has great mouth feel - not very bitter at all. It will brew out to about 4.9% alcohol by volume.

Wort Ingredients
2 cans Witty Monk Malt Extract
2 packets of Brewer's Yeast
1/2 cup Honey

Brewing
Follow your typical brewing preparation instructions.

Fermentation
Ferment for 21 days at about 78-80°F. No secondary fermentation racking.

Bottling
Follow normal sanitation procedures for bottling. Add priming sugar to each bottle before filling, then fill 'er up.

Carbonation
At least one week in the bottle for proper carbonation.

Lagering
You can drink after the carbonation is completed, but if you let it lager (sit around in the refrigerator) for two weeks or more, you'll be pleasantly rewarded with a rounder flavor.

Enjoy!
