I am about to do this too. Randomly pulled it from 'Extreme Brewing.' Glad to hear so many good things.

I did a 1 liter starter 24 hours before brew. Took off in 3 hours. I would make a starter.

Brewed this guy 8 days ago and am very excited. Wondering how much sediment you guys have had? I know-for hefes clarity isn't a big issue, but im wondering the effect of the fruit. I put my grated peel in a grain bag but the rest of the fruit was free floating. Worth racking to 2ndary or should i just bottle at 10 days if the gravity is good?

I'd just bottle. Mine was in the fermenter for ~15 days before I kegged. I just threw the fruit and zest right into the fermenter, and didn't have any problems.

Brewed this up 5 weeks ago, the pulled it out for sampling during my last brew day. A friend had never had home brew or seen the process before and, well, he loved it. Needless to say we drank too much of it and now I will have to do another on up soon!

So, I was at a health food store with good produce yesterday and saw that they had blood oranges in - made me think of this thread.

I have a raspberry wheat extract kit from NB that I haven't brewed yet - I'm thinking of changing it up a bit. I don't want too much fake raspberry extract flavor, so I was thinking about using like 1/4 of the flavoring that came with the kit and supplementing with blood orange.

Thoughts?

Hmm... can you dilute some of the raspberry extract with water and get back to us regarding how it tastes? Fresh raspberries vary a lot in flavour, as you probably know. If the extract makes for a tart raspberry flavour, then I would suggest against using it to supplement the blood orange hefe because the acid from the oranges make for a fairly tart beer to begin with.
