I asked this in my thread but I like this type of brew, would I still use the same amount of ingredients in a 2.5 gal batch?
And the hops was that during boil?

This sounds great. I have yet to do an AG recipe, because i lack the equipment an the funds, but been looking for a recipe for my first BIAB, what changes do you think I would need to do in the process.
Busted one of these open last night after a week in bottles. Early I know, but it was delicious. The cascade hops combined with the extra orange zest is really prevalent. Very good aroma and nice citrus flavor. Happy.

Bought the grains for this tonight. Will brew Saturday. Can't wait!
Just added my second addition of hopps. My buddy wanted to get into brewing this was the recipe he picked. Thanks!
In the fermentor now. How long have you guys been keeping this beer in primary? Since it's on US-05, not sure if I should do a typical 4 week primary (sans secondary) or keg it after fermentation stops. I just now re-read the recipe and see that is calls for 14 days in primary. I've never kegged a beer that young, so this will be a new experiment for me.
Smelling orangey in the fermenter today!
Jay, let's trade beers to get an idea of each other's attempt at this.
How in the world is your efficiency so high? Are you sparging the bag or something?
I tried a sneak peek tonight. It's nowhere near carbonated after 3 days on gas, but that's no surprise since I use the set it and forget it method. It's very light in color, but the wheat lets the flavor seem to carry through despite the light color and body. I think I'm going to like this beer and could see it being good on a really hot day!
I didn't get near the orange color as seen in the OP's picture. My daughter said it looks like apple juice. I'll give this one another week on the gas and let you guys know how it changes with carbonation.
I am going to make this tomorrow with a few modifications.
I am going to use Hallertauer and Citra for hops and am going to add Coriander.
It's way easier for us because we're both in the same club locally!
What's the verdict?
I like it! I usually hate wheat beers because they are determined to use Belgian yeast. The us-05 does a nice job with this. It's definitely a refreshing beer. My wife likes it too and I was able to get a dedicated Coors light drinker to go back after it several times over.
The next time I brew it, I'm going to double the orange rind to get more of that flavor. It has more or less faded completely at this point.
Thanks for the recipe! Glad I brewed this one. Finally something my non-IPA drinking friends will enjoy!

Here's the color I get from this beer. The picture looks darker than reality. I think it's much lighter than intended, but it's nice. Yes, I know, adding the orange in the beer is stupid, etc. Bite me.
EvilJay, if you want some, you better hurry up. My picky beer friends (i.e. Bud Light Light Lime or Sam Summer) even like this one.
