Okay so I went to LHBS today with my brewbuddy. They had a bunch of brewers doing their thing, mostly extract style. Sampled quite a bit before picking out my recipe. I had a few recipes saved into the phone as well as my homebrew bible on hand. My buddy Marc picked up enough stuff to brew an abbey trappist. I on the other hand couldn't decide. I just brewed and am about to keg "blacklabs orange cascade" and samples have kicked ass. I thought about the same grain bill and using a belgian or hefe yeast. However this is what I will be brewing monday. Just pitched the yeast starter about 2 hrs ago with White Labs Hefeweizen IV. The LHBS had a sale on it!
Using this recipe as a base. What ya'll think...!?!??....
4.5 lbs Briess 2-row
4.5 lbs Flaked Wheat (Red)
1 oz. East Kent Goldings FWH
1 oz. Bitter Orange Peel (10 minutes)
1 oz. Homeground Coriander Seeds (10 minutes)
White Labs Hefeweizen IV Yeast
Still figuring what mash schedule I wanna follow. I use a Coleman Xtreme.. so its big.
"Edit: Just realized I have White Labs Cream Ale Yeast as well. Anyone ever work with this..maybe this might be an interesting choice for this brew? The brain is always working..."
