I created this recipe to be a spin off of my Lemon Lime Hefeweizen, that way those of us who purchased larger portions of grain and hops can utilize some of the same ingredients to make this one.
First you need to make your blood orange aide, here is my recipe for this:
Ingredients to make the base of the beer:
Extract Version (follow All Grain Hop Schedule):
Wait for 2 days to add Blood Orange Aide...it will make a mess if you put it in on the first day. Primary ferment for 3 weeks...bottle or keg with light brown sugar more a complex taste.
First you need to make your blood orange aide, here is my recipe for this:
- 4 large blood oranges
- 4 small blood oranges
- 1 cup of light brown sugar
- peal oranges removing the skin and the inner white skin (this will make your drink tart if kept on)
- place these ingredients in a blender
- fill half way with water
- after mix purees, it should fill your blender to the top (which is 8 cups)
- if it doesnt fill to the top then add water until it does and puree for a few minutes and then taste
- at this point your blood orange aide should be really sweet but not to tart, if its too tart then try adding more sugar
- after blood orange aide taste the way you like it then you can either boil it to pasteurize the juice or if you fell like you took every precaution, then place in the fridge while you make the beer.
