BIAB Choc Orange Porter/Stout

[mildeng]

Hi all, looking for anyone who’s had success with one of these biab. Hoping to brew something up this week and let it sit until Christmas (or bottle ferment). Open to all ideas, just looking for some advice!

Oooh, my one and only Christmas Candy request. I’d never considered that. I do like to go as natural as I can with ingredients, but for the flavor you’re shopping for, this one sounds extract driven.

I know with my blood orange purée beers, the orange blends in and is over powered with hops. Might could try both purée and extract?

I make a Triple Chocolate Stout using the version in post #31 in this thread

I haven’t tried adding orange to it but I have used dried orange peel (bought online from Ritebrew) in a Blue Moon Clone, added with 5 mins left in the boil. Thinking you could try that.

A local brewery in Santa Barbara (Third Window Brewing), does a Chocolate-Orange Stout call Walkabout that's sinfully delicious. It's made with chocolate from a local chocolatier, locally sourced oranges, and fine Ugandan vanilla.
If I were to try to replicate it I think I'd use orange extract though. Apex is my go-to for extracts. They're top notch.
