If you have the book and want to correct the typos, I have an ascii 
list of corrections that was posted a few years ago.  As someone 
mentioned, the book was written before the Dewulf-Cosyns malts became 
widely available, so the recipes are a little outdated.  There's still 
enough history and brewing advice to make it worth the purchase. 
I use the pilsner malt as a base in many of my recipes, but for Belgian 
ales, the pale ale and/or the Vienna malts are more appropriate.  This 
comments is based on the remarks made by the Belgian judges at the 
Spirit of Belgium homebrew competition. 

 
Cheers,

Subject: Zymurgy Spring 95 Wit correction 

 
Jeff's correction to his hopping rates n his recipe in the Spring 95 
zymurgy reminded me to correct my Wit recipe. I was waiting for Phil to 
do them en masse, but last I heard he had not received his comp copy. 

 
The first thing that anyone should notice is a lack of any mention of 
lactic acid production. This was in the original submission, more 
Zymurgy typo-rama. 

 
I am not as adventurous as Scott Bickham with Wits. I eschew adding 
bacteria and stick with the 88% lactic acid. This is part of the reason 
he got first in Wit over my second at SoB. In my experiments the most 
pleasant results were acheived with 15 ml 88% lactic acid per 5 gallons. 
I have used none, 5 ml, & 10 ml and 15 ml had the best balance. Of 
course, that was with 35 g coriander per 5 gallons. Phil thinks this is 
a lot of coriander, but I watched him drink a good few of these beers. 

 
Cheers, Rick
