My take on a Belgian Wit.
I do not have the BeerSmith application.
Initial Boil Volume = 7 gal / 26 liters

Grain Bill
----------
4.40lbs / 2kg - Pilsner
4.40lbs / 2kg - Flaked Wheat
2.20lbs / 1kg - Wheat
0.75lbs / 0.35kg - Flaked oats

Hops
----
0.4oz / 10g - Southern Star (14.4% AA) @ 45min
2.0oz / 55g - Southern Aroma (6% AA) @ 10min

Yeast
-----
Mangrove Jacks M21 (Attn = 70% - 75%, Temp = 18C to 25C)
Possible substitutes are Lallemand Belgian Wit style or WLP400

Hop information
---------------
Both Southern Star and Southern Aroma are South African hops.
Southern Star can be replaced by any high AA neutral bittering hop.
Southern Aroma - Floral, fields of flowers, woody/spicy, and fruity.
