Belgian Witbier – Jovaru Lithuanian Farmhouse yeast – Candi Wit – Grain to Glass – Part 2 of 2
Belgian Witbier – Jovaru Lithuanian Farmhouse yeast – Candi Wit – Grain to Glass – Part 2 of 2
Belgian Witbier brewed with Cascade Belgin Wit Candi Syrup and Jovaru Lithuanian Farmhouse yeast.
I had a lot of fun making this as it really is a bit of a hybrid but when thinking of a Witbier the Lithuanian farmhouse yeast called Jovaru with its lemon pith and black pepper just sounded perfect for a Witbier. Plus I went for Pacific Jade hops which offer aromas of citrus (more lemon) and black pepper and then you throw in the Cascade Belgian wit candi beer syrup with the orange peel and coriander it simply sounded perfect.

Flying Dog – Raging Bitch Clone on Rye – Belgian IPA Imperial – Grain to Glass – Part 2 of 2
This is a tribute to Fly Dog’s Raging Bitch beer. Essentially I found as many clone versions of it as possible to come up with my version of it. I intentionally substituted the first bittering hop addition of Warrior for Columbus as I was out of Warrior. I also added 1 lb of Rye to play on the spiciness of the already spicy brew.

I made this to show the first time brewer just how easy a brew can be with very little equipment purchases. This was very inexpensive and the tools needed are inexpensive too.
