Anyone have a good wit bier recipe that includes some coriander and orange zest? I am trying to clone darling bonecrusher.

Wit I brewed a couple of times. The Yeast used was from Lallemand. You can also use Mangrove Jacks M21.
Turned out quite good.

I think Jitters was saying you can get the orange and coriander flavour from the hops and yeast?

I brewed a Wit with orange and coriander but went too hard on the coriander, be very careful with that one. Might be worth following Jitters link for a first one. If I were to brew again I wouldn't add coriander and would keep it simple.

I'm a fan of using orange or other citrus peel in brews mostly session IPAs but you can easily (accidently) add extra bitterness from the peel.

Yeah sorry if I confused, you can get the citrus from the hops, but there are other hops that have a similar profile.

Get yourself 2 ounces (57 g) of Pacific Jade, a New Zealand hop variety that features…wait for it…lemon, orange, pepper, and herbs.

Thanks Guys. I will go basic on the first one, I see nfp has a wit bier recipe.

As all know I am a super newbie so figuring things out by the day (need a mentor...). The plan was to do Irish red and something else this weekend, but was informed that my benoni brew delivery has been delayed to end of May..

The only place I've found carboys, is on Takealot R200.00. Sounds reasonable

I got mine from a H2O shop in Malmesbury .. R150 for a 5gal clean one or R100 for a dusty one - doh. R3.50 for the blue seal cap. I use them exclusively for my fermenting.

EDIT: This the factory that makes them:

That's a good idea. I've got a friend with a couple of water shops, so will speak to him.

So, is there anyone here that can maybe help with setting up a Brewfather water profile?

I have the following details, but I'm stuck on the Bicarbonate value. Since it's not given, but the alkalinity is (as well as TDS), do I add a value for Bicarbonate until I get the value 3 as stated in the source, or should the be the residual alkalinity? And what about the TDS value?

Well I'm brewing today so I'm going with what I have. The salt amounts are small. < 0.5g so in this batch I guess mucking it up won't won't be as bad as if it were on the order of a couple of grams.

Bicarbonate is normally such small amounts anyway. Focus on gypsum and chloride

R1080 is very cheap for a 50L stainless pot, mind sharing where you saw this price.

R1080 is expensive. I bought one for R850. It works like a charm.

I did enquire with them.

One thing to note is that it's 201 SS, majority quality pots are 304.

Google tells me 201 is low nickel, so I guess in the long run you will have to replace.

Any idea where I can find this diffuser, the one at the end of the circulation pipe?
