I'm at a loss on this. My second attempt at a Blue Moon clone has resulted in failure again. I made a few post about my first failure. With all the input I recieved I changed the recipt and some of my brewing habbits.
7.00 lb Pilsner (2 Row) Bel (2.0 SRM) Grain 57.1 %
4.00 lb White Wheat Malt (2.4 SRM) Grain 32.7 %
1.25 lb Oats, Flaked (1.0 SRM) Grain 10.2 %
0.50 oz Cascade [6.90%] (50 min) Hops 10.3 IBU
0.50 oz Cascade [6.90%] (15 min) Hops 5.4 IBU
0.25 oz Orange Peel, Bitter (Boil 5.0 min) Misc
0.25 oz Orange Peel, Sweet (Boil 5.0 min) Misc
0.28 tsp Irish Moss (Boil 10.0 min) Misc
0.50 oz Coriander Seed (Boil 15.0 min) Misc
1 Pkgs Belgian Wit Ale (White Labs #WLP400) Yeast-Wheat
I hit my target mash right at 154F. It dropped to 153 over the hour. My collected 8 gallons to boil. Boiled down to 6 gallons with a OG of 1.055 (72% so I was happy). I gave it 14 days in the primary FG 1.012 and racked directly in to the keg(ferment between 70-72). I tasted it three days later. It was still a little flat but it tasted bad. Nothing like Blue Moon. Sour to start with a really bitter finish but not hop bitter. No wheat beer taste at all. Just way off. Any ideas? I'm at a lose I hit all my numbers almost spot on.
