I made my first Hoegaarden clone. So far smells great and took off almost 8 hours after pitching.

Ingredients: 9lbs German Pilsner Malt (no Belgina on hand) 9lbs Wheat malt (Briess, ) 2oz Hallertauer 4.6% AAU 1oz Corriander 1oz Bitter ornage peel

White Labs 400 Yeast

Single infusion mash at 152deg. for 95min. Mash out with 180deg water to raise temps to 168 or so. Stuck sparge! Runnings to make 11gallons. Boiled for 60min with 1 hop addition at the beginning of the boil. Last 15 min I tossed in the spices and forgot to grind the corriander, oh well. Cooled to 80degrees and pitched a big starter. Took off in less than 8 hours. I will keg this in 7 days or so. Looking for a target gravity of 1.010 or less.

OG: 1.056 (a bit high, may cut back on the extra pound of Pilsner or wheat.)
