I used 4 navel oranges, 1 red grapefruit, 2 lemons & 2 limes. Next time around I may buy a micro zester to minimize the pith in the zest. Last time just used an old school pyramid-shaped grater & grated the hell out of it down to the fruit.

This is definitely now a staple- really impressive results!

Round 4 is in the fermenter! I came across blood oranges in the store at the end of December so bought them immediately as I totally missed out last year. Found minneolas a few days later and I was in business. The character of the zest makes a pretty big difference in this beer, so I'm excited to have the same fruits as the original.

The fermenter is in my living room, smells great!

Anything with a clean profile. I use s05.

Been looking forward to trying this recipe. I'm normally not a huge fan of wheat, but this one just speaks refreshing. Thanks.

Anyone see any problems with dropping the ibus and the abv on this one to please the masses?

I think you could drop it down a bit but it's kinda reliant on an IPA-like balance. If you melded it with a lower ABV hoppy pale ale recipe I think it'd work fine.

I just brewed up a 10gal batch of this partially because I was excited that blood oranges are still available. Half is getting WLP001, the other half is getting Brett B Trois. It should be an interesting experiment. Here's some cool pics of the fruit and zest:

Brewed this (slight variations to citrus based on what was available) as my first all grain batch, opened bottles last weekend and it is incredible! Great recipe!!
