Greetings ,
I am toying with the idea of making a citrusy red ale.
Can anyone predict how racking over blood orange chunks pan out? I know some people rack over fruit and other ingredients but what can I expect with citrus fruit? Any ideas or links are appreciated
Also what do you all think of the steeping grain combo, would I be better off doing a partial mash instead with some diastic grains added (would be my first attempt)?
Heres what Ive got planned with the BeerSmith program:
3 lb Light Dry DME
3 lb Pale Liq Extract
.5 lb Crystal Malt 40 L
.5 lb Crystal Malt 80 L
.5 lb Munich Malt
2 oz roasted barley
.33 oz Horizon Hops (5o min)
.25 oz Summit Hops (10 min)
.50 oz Summit Hops (1 min)
1 tsp Irish moss
Whitelabs Irish ale yeast
OG: 1.049
SRM: 15.9
IBU: 22.5
