Be careful when dumping the flaked oats and flaked wheat, they look exactly alike and if you dump 1 pound of flaked oats (my local shop had them in bags that looked alike) it will definitely mess with the recipe! And of course I didn't think to add more hops and orange peel at the time.. I'm kegging this up tonight,hope it turned out ok

Going to have to give this one a shot in the future. I brewed a Wit recently from a pretty traditional recipe and it’s missing bitterness something awful. I kept to about 13 IBU total with no aroma additions. I made up for it with 0.5oz of bitter orange peel and a full oz of crushed coriander, but combined with the CaCl forward water, it’s just missing some bite.

Hello, Beatnik, how do you use your orange peel?
Do you do it directly in the boil 5 min before finishing?
Or do you prepare it in vodka or some other way?
What is the pH of the water you use?

Thank you very much for the recipe and congratulations on the gold

Hey thanks.

I use very little (see recipe), I put the coriander and peel in a mortal and pestal and I give it about 30 seconds of "smushing" to release the aromas a little bit right before I throw it in the boil. The recipe actually keeps these elements to just a "hint" (I personally think most wits have too much coriander and it's boiled too long as well) - the idea with this recipe is to let the hops (Amarillo) do the heavy "citrus lifting".

I'm not sure what my water PH is, I use BruNWater yellow malty profile and adjust all of my beers mashes with acid if needed.

@BeatnikTom, did you ever notice the orange being rather subdued as fermentation finished? I feel like it's going to need some zest added to the keg... My gravity reading today was 1.013 and it which is 5 points lower than it was Friday but it is getting really light.. I'm hoping it's about done as I feel like there will be nothing left...

I'd adjust the next batch to use fresher Amarillo, add more at 0 min, or make your chilling system work faster. You'll get more and better orange flavor and aroma from the Amarillo that way.

Side note: I don't know what your fermenter equipment is like, but I don't recommend mucking around in there taking readings. Just let it ferment. Then let it sit for another week or so.

Personally, I don't let my beers touch air or oxygen anywhere between when the yeast goes in the fermenter and it goes in my drinking glass.

I rarely care about final gravity, I often forget to even take a sample to measure it.

i forgot to reply to this, but i was using a ss brewbuck when i took those samples, so no O2 intrusion.

ill have to brew this again, now that i have a counterflow.. although, i still like to whirlpool for a few minutes to knock the trube down.

Just checking, the coriander seeds and orange peel are really 0.1oz/3grams each? seems like very little....

Yep

I'm brewing this (well a slightly tweaked version) Friday evening. Just picked up my grain and can't wait. I think this will be my 4th time brewing it.. I highly recommend trying this with some amoretti blood orange. (You can thank me later )

I am going to brew this beer tonight.
