Can you send the basic recipe (malt used, hops, spices, &c). It is my
understanding that Witbier can be a bit of a pain--it is pale and light
in flavor, and so any defects will shine right through (part of why I
made a dark and strongly flavored stout heh). 

I think we have the process down enough that we can pull it off
however... we managed to get through a production without a boilover,
cooled the wort quickly, and (despite my oops the yeast cake is
compressed and old bit) fermenting with a stable temperature (yep,
finally I've managed to KEEP it at a stable 68F!).

That should work, are there any days around Saturday you are free as
well? (Just want to make sure all schedules can align).

We also need to go to the gardening company before brewing to fetch a
supplies--I do *not* want to use the bucket again as it really doesn't
have enough headspace (and I can't look at the wort! no fun!).
