Hey guys. So here's what I'm going for:
I'm making a 1 gallon batch of American wheat beer with orange and honey flavors. It like it to be lightly hopped, a light color, and highly carbonated.
Here's my recipe:
1 lb LME- wheat
35 grams flaked wheat (steeped)
12 grams 2 row pale malt (steeped)
1/3 cup of light honey
5.66 grams saaz hops (60 mins boil)
1.5 grams citra hops (last 5 mins)
400 mg grains of paradise (last 15 mins of boil)
1 shaved orange peel (last 10 mins of boil)
US-05 yeast
I'm open to any suggestions. I'm particularly interested in any advice regarding the orange and honey flavors. I've read a lot about extracts and whole fruit during secondary. Do you these these flavors will be strong enough as is? When should I add the fruit or honey? Also, any comments about grain/hop selection would be appreciated.
Thanks guys
