Belgian White Ale 5 Gallon All Grain Beer Recipe Kit

Take full command of your witbier with the Belgian White Ale 5 Gallon All Grain Beer Recipe Kit — a complete all-grain recipe inspired by the wit bier tradition and the most awarded Belgian-style beer in American craft brewing. Brewing from scratch means deeper malt expression, greater process control, and the satisfaction of crafting this celebrated style entirely from raw ingredients.

The Belgian White Ale 5 Gallon All Grain Beer Recipe Kit is built for homebrewers who have graduated to all-grain brewing and want to put their setup to work on a truly iconic style. The grain-forward approach unlocks the full character of the wheat and oat bill — producing a richer, more nuanced haze and body than extract brewing alone can achieve.

LalBrew Wit takes center stage as the defining yeast in this recipe — a wheat beer strain well-suited to Belgian witbier and a wide range of wheat styles. It contributes a balanced baseline of soft banana and spice without overpowering the beer, allowing the hop and spice layers to shine through clearly. Carapils, white wheat malt, and flaked oats form the mash bill, building the soft, pillowy body and pale cloudiness that define the classic wit bier appearance.

The hop additions mirror the approach used in celebrated commercial witbiers: Nugget hops at 60 minutes for clean bittering, Crystal hops at 10 minutes for floral aroma and flavor, and Saaz at whirlpool for a delicate noble finish. At flame-out, bitter orange peel and coriander are added for citrus brightness and herbal warmth. Grains of paradise — an aromatic West African spice prized for its layered complexity of cardamom, ginger, citrus, juniper, and peppery heat — completes the spice bill and delivers the mystery that makes this style unforgettable.

This kit makes 5 gallons of beer and includes all required ingredients; brewing equipment is not included. The finished beer is typically ready to drink in four to five weeks.

Crafted with quality ingredients and thoughtfully developed recipes, Craft a Brew all-grain kits are trusted by homebrewers who want full process control and authentic, from-scratch results.
