I'm going to be brewing a honey orange wheat. I want the orange and honey flavor to shine through and to be balanced with each other. Pleas critique the recipe and leave any suggestions you think would be helpful!
5 gal batch
6 lbs. pale 2 row
5 lbs weyermann light wheat
.5 lbs honey malt
1 lb rice hulls
1 oz Tettnang 60 min.
1 oz Tettnang 30 min.
5 oz orange zest added at 15 min.
1.5 L starter of Wyeast 1056 American Ale yeast
Estimated O.G. 1.055
Estimated ABV: 5.37%
I also have some cascade, centennial, hallertauer, and zythos (Simcoe substitute) hops on hand.
I've thought about adding oranges to the mash, then I started worrying about the pH of the mash so I decided zest at 15 min/flameout would be best.
