Kolsch, Hefeweisen, and Wit Recipes

So these would be styles 6, 15, and 16 if we were doing brewing for this.  However, with is just me and "Stronger than Plastic" brewing to brew.  The WTBH share of the kolsh will join the second runnings porter from last week as a donation.  The Brewmistress wanted a clone of Hoegarden, so the wit is my attemp.  The other Kolsch and Hefe are for STP.
