I accidentally posted this in the "Introductions" forum at first. Whoops!
Hello, I got a kit for Christmas and I brewed my first batch yesterday (it's an Imperial Blonde Ale). I noticed that a lot of people add orange zest in during the boil, but it's already too late for that, so I'm wondering if it would work if I put some orange slices in during the secondary fermentation. I want it to be more than just a subtle hint of orange, but not necessarily taste like orange juice or anything. My questions are: #1. Will it work? #2. If so, how many pounds of oranges should I use (for a 5 gallon batch)? #3 How should I sanitize the oranges? Will soaking them in vodka do? And if so, how long should I let them soak?
Thanks for your help. Cheers! :rockin:
