• Preboiled Extract Means a Quick 30 Minute Boil
• Choice of Optional Liquid or Dry Yeast
Our Christmas Wit is a double wit in the Belgian tradition, a wheat beer that is deceptively light, with a full body and slight hint of orange peel and other spices in the smooth finish. Alcohol: 6.3%, IBU's 30.
Includes 9 pounds of our blended wheat extract and beet sugar, 125ml of liquid yeast, flavoring and aromatic hops, spices, and carbonation sugar. Makes 5 gallons with a starting gravity of at least 1.062.
Yeast recommendations:
1. 3944 Wyeast Belgian Witbier Liquid Yeast for the smoothest flavor
2. LalBrew Farmhouse Hybrid Dry Ale Yeast for a slightly sweeter touch

Q: Will you be preparing any more kits of the Christmas Wit this fall (2020)? How does the Christmas Wit compare to your other Belgium wit?
A: Our Christmas Wit will be available by the end on next week. Our Christmas Wit is a double Belgian Wit so it will have a higher ABV and more of the spices used in our Belgian Wit kit.

Christmas Wit
Brewed on 11/24/23 - OG was 1.066; In Primary@ 69F over 7 days – until 12/11/23. FG was ~ 1.018 which made for a Alcohol By Volume: 6.30%; Into secondary @ 70-71F for close to an addl week until 12/17/23 just to see if gravity changed any and to settle/clear some. Cold Crashed for 24 - 48 hrs; Kegged on 12/19/23 & chilled to 37-38F and started to slow carbonate at ~12 psi over the course of 5-8 days. Was shooting for ~2.6 - 2.7 volumes of CO2. Couldn't really get the carb level right - beer was ok but seems a little off-- thinking some oxidation at transfer from prim to secondary but not sure. Hoping after a little time it will get better. I'm sure my mistake somewhere..
Christmas down under
If you live down under, or are in Hawaii, this is the most wonderful Christmas beer ever!! I Brewed this kit starting Nov. 23 = to close to Christmas (should have started Nov.1) OG was 1.072+ Prim@ 68f for 7 days; Second was 1.035 @ 72f and today, Dec 22 it is still just over 1.025 so it will not be done by the 25th ugh! +/-. The smell and taste of the gravity checks so far have been the best summer beer I have ever had! It has a very refreshing grapefruit taste so it is an A+++ Beer. This great beer was a mess up on my part. I should have ordered the holiday beer kit which I normally brew for Christmas opps, must be getting old. In any case, this will turn out as a really great tasting beer in Jan - Feb. Williams; Please keep this one in stock until past Feb. (maybe call it christmas in July beer?)
CHRISTMAS WIT
I haven't brewed the wit beer yet, but the honey Brown is bubbling like a scuba diver. I plan putting a liter of Habanero vodka in each 5 gallon batch when I bottle, just to spice it up a bit.
Brewed it in winter for summer
This was my summer refresher after working in a hot kitchen. The slight wit tart with the spices was one of the most refreshing beers I have ever had on tap. I will be doing this again.
