Ok--this may officially fall into the realms of a stupid question. I was really looking forward to brewing this wheat beer derivitive with a pretty intense orange flavor. The recipe is as follows:
5lb 2-row
3lb flaked wheat
1lb flaked oats
1lb flaked wheat
1/2oz cascade at 45min
1/2 oz cascade at 10min
1/2oz sweet orange peel at 15min
1/2 oz coriander at 15mins
1/2 oz sweet orange peel at 5min
1/2 oz coriander at 5mins
I was shooting for a pretty good level of orange flavor--not like drinking orange juice but pretty orangy. When I tasted the hydrometer left overs it just tasted like every other wort I have done and there was no orange taste at all--just cascade hops. Now, this is the first time I have experimented with oranges or spices and I used the dried peels from AHB. Anyway--will the orange flavor start to come out after fermentation and aging or does it sound like I need to up the orange peel/coriander for the next attempt. Anyway--like I said--probably a stupid question but I was just curious. Thanks for all the help.
