How much orange and when to add for Blue moon clone?

akthor · Oct 3, 2010

So we drank the Octoberfest Ale I made last night. Everyone loved it. I really thought it tasted a lot like Blue Moon without the orange flavor. So I am thinking if I make it and add the orange it will be a Blue Moon clone.

So when and where and how do I add it for a 5 gallon batch?

I add it at the last 5 minutes of the boil.

Same here 3/4 oz. Orange peel 5 minutes.

3/4 of an oz? How many oranges is that the peel from? No scale

I'd zest two-three oranges. I tend to zest two oranges and half a grapefruit for my wits.
