I didn't use a bag. I just threw everything into the carboy (better bottle).

I just brewed my first hefe on sunday. Using 7# LME (bavarian wheat), 1 1/3 oz hellertaur (1 @ 60, 1/3 @ 10) and Wyeast 3068 smack pack. Fermentation has been very strong and was still going this morning.

My question is do you think I can cut the oranges and steep in water (less water than everyone else so I don't water down the brew) and throw into the primary? Or would it be a better idea to secondary this with the fruit. I really didn't want to have to secondary this beer, so I was leaning towards just throwing the stuff into the primary and letting it sit for another 10 days (14 days total).

Let me know what you all think

I would be inclined to add the fruit to primary, although you could just brew another Hefe and have 10 gallons of beer instead of 5...

It won't screw things up that the fruit wasn't there for the bulk of fermentation?

I really doubt it because it isn't any different then racking onto fruit in secondary.

heres what I am going to do.

I will rack the beer out of the fermenter into the bottling bucket. Bottle half. Add the blood orange (maybe 2 blood oranges (zest and meat) steeped in 1/4-1/3 gallon water) with the fruit in a muslin bag. Let that sit for a day, the bottle the rest.

Pivot, that's kickass! What percentages of barley and wheat are you using?

I used 5# 2-row and 3# wheat, but I messed up bad. I missed my mash temp by alot and only got 50% efficiency. oh well, its gonna be reallly reallly reallly mild but should still taste good hopefully
