Hmmm, interesting. If this guy is the brewmaster at Blue Moon, you wouldn't think that he'd give away the Blue Moon recipe would you? I'd like to think that he would, but I doubt it. Maybe he's a disgruntled employee!

This is hes personal recipe for white, I am sure it is different then the recipe he uses when he brews 100+ BBL batches, However I expect this recipe to be a close clone of his recipe. He after all is considered a expert on wit beer. (He is a judge in the GABF) Any recipe he writes I would consider a excellent example of the style.
