About to brew this again for my wedding rehearsal event. Woot Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Tried the Sam Adams seasonal Cold Snap this weekend and thought it tasted a lot like the all grain version of this I made last year. I'm also seeing a lot more wheat beers surfacing now that are brewed with orange peel and coriander. Wondering if anyone tried adding coriander to this recipe...

158 degrees for the mash seems high. Any reason why you mashed that high?

If you used WLP300 the hefeweizen yeast it has a very quick and pretty crazy fermentation at first. By day two it slows down considerably. Also, it ferments best at 70-72 degrees so your cooler temp might be keeping it at rest a little more than optimal. Other than that you could have had some...

And what yeast did you use?

What is your fermenting temp and did you make a starter?

Drinking a couple of pints from my second batch of this. Such an awesome summer brew

Good luck with the brew! I had a bit of a crisis this past weekend when my air conditioning unit went out and the temperatures here in GA spiked up. The house was at almost 80 degrees during the day for 3 days causing some nasty temp fluctuation. I wasnt home as it was Father's Day weekend so...

That's awesome! I just brewed this again on Wednesday and was thinking about how great it would be to have an orange tree! Good luck with the brew!

Also not really my recipe. I just varied the owner of the thread's original one to get a higher ABV and play with citra which I hadn't used before. Gotta give credit where it's due!!

Will try that too. Beersmith suggested a target mash temp of 152, then sparge with 168 degree water. I think the sparge was spot on, but I might increase the mash temp just a tad

Nope. WLP300 from White Labs and made a yeast starter. It was my first yeast starter so i had fun using my newly built stir plate. I'll post a pic of it cause I think it's super cool! Post results!

:mug: As promised, the results! Tapped it last night and it really came out great! The girlfriend says it's her favorite beer I've made. Even better than my English Chocolate Porter I asked?? Yes... make this again. !! So I upped the grain bill a bit from the original recipe: 5 lb...

Brewed this on Monday. I upped the grain bill by a couple pounds to get higher ABV and used WLP300 with my stir plate. Fermentation was pretty crazy! The wort smells great so can't wait to try it
