Ok with 15 or so brews under my belt I decided to make up a recipe off the top of my head, now I just want some assistance tweaking it so it will actually taste decent. All the ingrediants are already ordered and shipped so any tweaking will have to be to what you already see here in the recipe. Here is what I got so far, I want it to be a Citrus Wheat.
5.5 Gallon recipe
6 pounds of white wheat malt
4.25 pounds of pale malt 2row
.50oz bitter orange peel
.50oz sweet orange peel
.75oz amarillo gold 60 minutes
.25oz amarillo gold 15 minutes
Wyeast 1010 american wheat ale yeast
OG-1.053
IBU-21.4
I also want to add the zest from 4-6 limes depending on what feedback I get from this thread. I can up the bitter and sweet orange peel to as much as a ounce each since thats how much came in the packet. I do want this to be a wheat beer with very strong citrus notes but not so much that it kills the beer all together. Also I have a .50lb of flaked oats on hand but I'm not sure if it would be needed in this beer? This recipe is citrus themed I choose amarillo for the hops since they have a citrus type flavor.
Any help, guidance, or critiquing would be much appreciated on our first attempt at a recipe. thanks
