Okay, so my oatmeal stout is coming along nicely and now I've set my eyes on my next project... An Orange Saison. I'll be starting off with a recipe kit from Midwest...
3.3 lbs. Gold liquid malt extract
3.3 lbs. Wheat liquid malt extract
1 lb. Clear Candi Sugar
8 oz. Cara-20
8 oz. Unmalted Wheat specialty grains
3 oz. of hops
1/4 tsp. Grains of Paradise
1 oz. bitter orange peel
1/2 oz. whole coriander
White Labs Belgian Wit Ale 400
I want it to be nice and tart and after looking into it I think the White Labs will do the trick.
Anyway, on to my actual question... I'm thinking of replacing two gallons of water with two gallons of orange juice. I won't use them as part of the boil mind you... I'm afraid of what may happen to the sugars in it. It will be added to the wort to bring it up to five gallons.
What do you think?
