So I have a big grain order coming soon, so of course I am low on almost everything. I had a need to brew today, so took inventory of what base grains I had... Not much. I had seen the Longshot winner Cranberry Wit, and figured I had enough to make an attempt. I ran to the grocery store and found a few things to make it a bit more interesting:
1. Blood Oranges on sale... SCORE. I picked up three and zested them. I also gutted and added the pulp of two of them.
2. Cranberry Pomegranate juice, also on sale. I figured complexity would be good. Since it's an impulse brew, why not play a bit.
3. Out of whole coriander... Looks like I'm skipping it since the ground smelled pretty weak.
So here's the recipe:
70% Efficiency
4.5 lbs Malteurop Pale Two-Row
4.5 lbs Briess Wheat
1.0 lb Flaked Oats
0.5 Gallon Pomegranate Cranberry Juice, no added sugar
1.0 oz Cascades, 20 minutes
1.0 oz Crystals, 20 minutes
Zest of 3 Blood Oranges
Pulp of 2 Blood Oranges
Fermenting at 70* with Ommegang yeast, estimating 80% attenuation
During the boil it smelled incredible, like I was back in an orange grove from my days in the sun. I can't wait for it to run through and I can get it bottled.
