Looking for a really ORANGE beer

[aMillionDreams]

all-grain or anything else. I'm looking for the right combination of malt to make a really orange brew. Any help?

Blood Orange Hefeweizen

Never made it myself but others seem to like it.

Simple, A little yellow and red food coloring will do the trick. You will never taste them.

A 100% Vienna malt beer will come out orange.

+1. Tasty too.

Caramunich will make a beer pretty orange, if it's with only base malt. I used this for the first time in a saison recently, it came out with a really vibrant, sunny orange color.

Munich, Caramunich, and Vienna will all make the beer very orange/golden. Put them all togeather and have a Malt Bomb!

honey malt helped my last ipa to a very orange color

If you want it really orange, I'd do something turbid like a Witbier, then add a boatload of orange food coloring. The turbidity of the witbier will help make the orange brighter.

Also, I'd practice on a commercial bottle before committing to a whole batch using this method!

+2 on the Vienna, my SMASH with Vienna and Citra comes out great and it is pretty orange. Honey malt would work well too.

Wasnt there a "Sweet Potato ESB" recipe in a recent BYO that resulted in a bright orange beer (but with no taste of sweet potato)? I have considered brewing it for Halloween!

Sweet potato- yes. I can confirm this. I've got 4 bottles left downstairs. YMMV.

Mind sharing the recipe for Sweet Potato ESB?
