Well im about halfway through the keg, and i love it. Most of my friends are hop heads, including myself, but i find this to be the perfect summer beer. After working in the garden for a couple hours, im not in the mood for an incredibly hoppy, 7% IPA. This does the trick for me. I think next time i may add a little more orange peel, but overall i love the recipe. Thanks for posting.

I forgot to put the orange in the boil...should I just put it in the primary?

I do not think you'll get the desired flavor. However, I never tried it like that. Give it a go!

I am going to wait until fermentation is complete then boil the orange peel in a couple cups of water, cool, and add to the fermenter.

This sounds perfect. Might me my first 10 gal batch too since it won't tie up the fermentors too long! Cheers

Just brewed a partial mash version of this with a few changes. I dont have all grain capability so went to LHBS and this is what they gave me:

1.6 LBS wheat grain
1.06 lbs 2 row
2 lbs muntons light DME
3 lbs muntons wheat DME
1 pack munich wheat yeast
I zested 2 smallish oranges and on medium red grapefruit (instead of lemon)

Mashed grain BAIB in 3.5 gal @ 154-156 F for 60min
Removed grain and let drain then moved to another pot with 1.5 gal @ 170 for 10 min then romoved a drained.
Combined as much of the wert as possible and brought to boil
Added 2 lbs light DME at 60 along with .5 oz Cascade
.5 simcoe at 45 min (messed this one up supposed to be at 15 I used simcoe because I had it and wanted to use it up)
Added 3 lbs wheat DME @ 5 min and returned to boil then added 1.0 oz cascade and zest

The hydro sample tasted really good so im excited about this one. hope the Simcoe doesnt make it too "piney"

Oh and this batch was my first with my IC and it worked fantastic!

Just bottled up 12 pints of this. Even before this it tasted excellent, like a Blue Moon maybe. They did not have the rice hulls though so I'm not sure what I am missing because of this? any ideas?

Rice hulls are just to help prevent a stuck sparge when mashing with a high percentage of sticky huskless grain like rye or wheat. Some systems need them, others are fine without.

Heating up 4 gallons of strike water right now for this recipe, can't wait!

I'm using it in a summer 'homebrew-off' with my brewing buddy.

I'm using 4.5 lbs of pale 2 row to compensate for my low efficiencies lately (newer all grain brewer).

I'll post pics, thanks for the recipe!

Nailed my OG and 5.5 gallons post boil, awesome!

Just pitched a starter of 1010....can't wait to try this!

Thanks again.
