Your recipe calls for 1 oz Cascade for FWH'ing. But then there's a comma and says boil for 60 minutes. Are you adding another 1 oz of Cascade at the 60 minute boil mark or do you mean that you just leave the FWH Cascade in the boil the whole 60 minutes? The reason this caught my attention was that when I was entering the recipe into my BrewPal iPhone app it only gave me an IBU of 19 which is significantly lower than yours. Thanks for the recipe and the answer!
Oh, BTW, GO BEAVS!!!
Oh, and I haven't decided if I'm going to dry hop yet. I just transfer the beer into a carboy and pour the pellets in right? Then just rack off of them when they sink? I'm kind of worried about all the beer that the pellets will suck up.
Well, I've just transferred the beer to secondary, but I only used one ounce of cascades for the dry hop. It's all that I had. Should make a difference though.
I did take a gravity reading, and it was tasty as hell when I drank it!
I'll probably bottle this next Friday.
I've skipped the dry hop step on this brew many times, and it's still a great beer.
Brewed this up and it came out fantastic. I am very pleased with it. Thanks for sharing.
I was surprised at how well the dry hop blended into the beer. Normally, the dry hopping seems to stand out a bit more in terms of taste but this just melded right into the flavor profile. It all works really good together. Glad i brewed 10 gallons of this.
I used S-04 and it finished at 1.009.
Best beer I've brewed yet. Thanks for the recipe.
I was wondering if anyone has had problems with this beer producing a good frothy head? I keg my beers but have not been able to get this beer to pour with any head at all. I noticed in one of the pictures by the OP that there wasn't any head in the glass. I'm trying to determine if it's something in the beer or something going on with my keg system. Other than that it's a very tasty recipe. I think if I could get a nice head on it I'd be pretty happy with the brew. Thanks for the recipe!
Mine had normal head (i've done 2 batches). Didn't last crazy long or anything. I also keg, i know if my pressures get too low i don't get head on anything, same with temps to an extent. But i'd imagine that there are oils in the orange zest that could kill head? Maybe you got extra oily oranges? maybe i am completely off base..? what did you use for the orange peel?

It has become pretty common place to boil homebrew for 90 minutes because we cannot achieve the same even/vigorous boils as commercial brewery's, but this is more towards the "art" side of brewing as 60 min has worked for many people for a long time (though 90 min is always standard when using pilsner malt). For FWH you add the hops to the kettle when you start sparging, so they are in for (the length of sparging) + (time to heat up to boiling) + (60 or 90 minutes, however long you decide to boil) If you decide to boil all recipes 90 min, as many people do, it is a matter of preference whether to add "60 minute" additions at the beginning of boil (90 total minutes) or 30 minutes into the boil (60 total minutes in boil). It will not likely make a large difference.
anyone have a suggestion of how to add honey to this recipe?
i'm brewing this again very soon. my favorite to date
I brewed this for a beer dinner tomorrow. Below is the link.

Thank you for the recipe blacklab!!!
What about this with the new Greenbelt yeast? I'm thinking of doing this since the orange and coriander are my favorite part of Belgians but was looking for something hoppy and pale to drink.
