8% Cream Ale...that's not too much of a "lawnmower beer" is it haha Anyways, yes I did follow the recipe sans the addition of orange zest, that was the only alteration. Very simple extract recipe 3/4lb Gambrinus Honey Malt 1/4lb Belgian Biscuit 6# Pilsen Malt Syrup 1oz Cluster (60 min)...

I had 2.5G boil and the added water to bring it to 5G in the carboy but the reading I took was before adding water...would that have been it? I just got the hydrometer today and brewed the cream ale without orange zest before....tasted awesome!

I just brewed a cream ale recipe I found except with the addition of 1oz orange zest with 5 min left in the boil. The expected OG on the recipe was 1.040 and I'm looking at around 1.080... Should the orange zest throw it off this much? Or did I mess something up? Note - the hydrometer isn't...

I'm looking for more of the blue moon amount of flavor....thanks!

Thanks! I was debating adding at the end of boil...did that with honey in a brown ale in a brew last week. I'd prefer the sweet orange flavor but don't want the beer too sweet, that's why I was thinking a little bitter to balance out. How much total did you add at then end of boil for 5G? I...

I am looking to add a little more flavor to my Cream Ale and have heard adding a mixture of sweet and bitter orange peel in the secondary fermentor is best. A) Is adding both (bitter and sweet) beneficial or should I stick with only one? B) If I add both, what should the ratio be and how much...
