just looked at my notes...I mashed 1 3/4 lb and then boiled 1/4 lb for 30 minutes ( I typed it wrong in my post above). I was expecting it to be much thicker but in my case, it wasn't much thicker than a "light" beer.

I just tried one of my BM clones last night. I followed Nilo's #1 attempt recipe for this batch. It WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!! It had only been bottles 1 1/2 weeks so it is not fully conditioned yet but it was some of the best beer I've ever had. I have all of the ingredients to brew another batch...

So you have removed the rice hulls all together?

Nilo, I'm using Wayne's recipe and following your advice on small changes. Are you saying to add the oats to the mash but keep 1/4oz out in order to boil in the wort?

Yeah, i figured it wouldn't be much like BM but I thought I might experiment and add the orange peel and coriander just to see what I get. I am definitely going to try the correct recipe for a true BM in the next month or so.

I just purchased the "American Wheat" kit from Homebrewers.com http://www.homebrewers.com/product/ALP1004/American-Wheat-Beer-Kit.html and I'm thinking of just using that kit and then adding sweet orange peel and coriander to that. I know it isn't going to be a Blue Moon clone but I thought it...

Thanks for clearing that up Wayne. I can't wait to get started with this brew!

I'm guessing this all goes in a mulsin bag......or it is strained out before fermentation?

I have a few newb questions. I am wanting to brew this up in a few weeks. Are you guy just adding the orange peel and coriander to the boil and then straining it out, or are you putting it in bags like the hops? Also, are you crushing the coriander seeds or just adding them just as they come...
