Hi all,
So i'm a couple of days away from racking my Lemon Coriander Wheat beer into the secondary and I plan on adding 50/50 Lemon and Orange zest. (It initially was just going to be lemon, but I have a feeling that with the coriander it might come out to lemony so I'm going to do half an orange instead.
My question is, are certain types of oranges better then others? I went to my local grocery store the other day just to see what kind of citrus the had and to be honest, I wasn't impressed. They had a ton of navel oranges, and some of those tiny "Cuties" which are clementines I believe. The problem is, neither of them seem "sweet" to me, I tasted a bit of the zest from each and I got more tangy/bitter then anything.
Would appreciate any suggestions.
