In anticipation of summer I'm hoping to recreate a close proximity to Shock Top. From the AG clone recipes I've seen and their own description it incorporates lemon, lime and orange zest as well as coriander.
For those who haven't used the Brewhouse kits, they're 15L bags of wort to which you add 8L of water. I've got 2 possible scenarios for imparting the flavors into the beer.
First, I was thinking I could just add the zest and coriander in a secondary vessel.
Second, I was thinking that most of the recipes I've seen for a ShockTop clone have the zest and coriander additions with 5 mins left in the boil. This option would involve me boiling a portion of the additional water to be added with the zest and coriander, cooling and then mixing that with the premade wort.
And I guess there's a third option... do both 1 and 2.
Anyone have any advice when it comes to making a Belgian Witbier out of a Brewhouse kit?
Thanks!
