I've seen a lot of clone recipes but all of them end up like blue moon. Blue moon is ok, but a true Hoegaarden clone recipe would be great. I've seen various recommendations for spices including:
orange peel
coriander
chamomile
clove
cumin
garam masala
I have tried orange peel, coriander, and recently added chamomile which is a step in the right direction. I'm unsure of the last three. Quantities would have right or they would really overpower the beer.
I've been increasing the wheat-to-barley ratio each batch, currently at 5lbs wheat malt, 3lbs flaked wheat, 1 lb 2-row. 1oz of hallertauer or equivalent at 60min. It's getting there but I could use some suggestions.
