Did a brew this morning. Third batch since I started. Did two brewers best boxes and decided it was time to experiment. Recipe is as follows.

6.2 gallons water

Steep - 152-154 degrees - 20 minutes.
1lb carapils
1/2lb crystal malt 60

Boil - 60 minutes.
6lbs - light Pilsen DME
2oz Magnum hops - 60 minutes
1oz cascade hops - 15minutes
4tsp - fermax yeast nutrient - 10 minutes
1oz Amarillo hops - 5 minutes
1/2oz coriander seed - 5 minues
1oz orange bitter peel - 5 minutes

OG reading post boil was 1.050

Pitched at 78 degrees with white labs Belgian with ale yeast. Now fermenting at 70 degrees.
I am pretty excited about this brew. Was trying to replicate the widmer bros blinded by the white. However wanted more hops so I went that way. Beersmith estimated ibus at 129.7. Should be a tastey one. Will update gravity reading in 2 weeks.
 
Pitched with Belgian wit ale yeast at 78 degrees by the way. Dunno why it didnt add that in the post.
 
Oh yea... Haha. One of the most important ingredients. I added 6 lbs of a light Pilsen dry extract.
 
Did an SG reading today. Has gone to 1.020. Will do another in a couple days. Not going to rack this one to secondary however. Hoping I can empty enough bottles from prior brew to have enough for this one in a few days.
