Witicus Double Rye Wit
While it is difficult to make something so good twice as good, the brewers at Freetail have found a way. Brewed with Franco-Belge Pils Malt, Fawcett Malted Rye and raw wheat this big, Amer-Belgo-style ale is a far cry from its little brother. Bursting with fruit esters of pear, pineapple and citrus from our favorite yeast strain, Witicus merits comparison with the oft-requested Threetail and hints at the power of Super Saison. Still, Witicus stands alone as a unique beer—look for spiced versions to appear on tap through the end of our long summer.

While we have a thriving, growing homebrew community in Texas and here in San Antonio, we realize not everyone knows the difference between a hydrometer and thermometer.

Original Gravity, the starting density of the liquid before fermentation, relative to water which is 1.000. Values given both in Specific Gravity and degrees Plato.
|

FG: |
Final Gravity, as dissolved sugars are converted into alcohol during fermentation, the density drops closer to that of water. The difference between the two (OG-FG) is used to calcualte alcohol content.
