- Tasting Notes
- Alcohol is not nearly as forward as might assume looking at the ABV, very quaffable
7.0 lb Light DME
6.0 oz Corn Sugar (0.38 lb)
0.5 lb Crystal 20
0.5 oz. Simcoe (12.3% AA) 60 Minutes
1 oz. Amarillo Gold (7.3% AA) 15 Minutes
1 tsp. Irish Moss (15 minutes)
1.6 oz. Fresh Grated Orange Peel 10 Minutes (Two Navel Oranges - did not use all of the pith but certainly allowed some of it)
Prime with Corn Sugar - I put half in a Party Pig and bottled the remainder, but my quantities are not too useful. 4 - 5 oz should be good, nice to have it on the higher, crisper carbonation side.
Steeped Crystal in 1 gallon at 155 degrees F for 40 minutes. Raised temp and removed grain sack at 175 degrees. Put grain sack in a second kettle of 1 gallon and let it steep at 170 for an additional 10 minutes, and added this to primary kettle with additional water to make 4.5 gallons. I did a 4.5 gallon boil, and topped off to 5 gallons. Late edition for 70% of the DME.
I was not going to add this recipe, as it is an Extract recipe and pretty simple at that. But by the time my bottles ran out I realized I really, really enjoyed this brew. The orange flavor was crisp and nice, and a little more would not hurt but I would not do less. The orange flavor and aroma dimish from what you get when boiling to what you get when you drink it, and even at that my last bottle had less orange up front than my first, as it faded even over the few weeks it took me to drink (but did not disappear). The ABV is pretty high at 6.7, but it was not that noticeable. The hops gave a nice bitterness and flavor, and along with the orange, the alcohol took a back seat. It would probably not hurt to ferment a degree or two colder than I did, either, that is what I will do next time.
Overall, very quaffable and refreshing. Enjoy!
