I've added a 1lb of wheat to the recipe in the past, it's nice. Gives it some more body and a fluffier head.
Interesting.

Brewed and bottled, subbed out half the pale malt for wheat
Just brewed this one for the 1st time today. Everything went smoothly except for one big Oops - No coriander. How important is the coriander to the flavor profile? Most discussion appears to center on the orange and hops additions. Am I OK leaving the coriander out or does it really add to the beer? Lastly if I need to add it can I just make a tea and add at same time as the dry hops? Never triad anything like that so not sure how that would turn out.
Thanks.
D_Nyholm said:GOt my supplies from my LHBS today. They looked at me funny when I asked for 12 oz of cascade. They asked if I was making a super hoppy IPA. Just making 10 gallons of a pale ale Can't wait to brew this on sunday. Got the sweet orange peel and coriander from them....yum
I usually buy Cascades by the pound so I always have a stock of them in the deep freezer. Pretty much a staple hop for all of my APA's and IPA's so I use them up pretty fast.
I'm still pretty new to brewing, but have had success so far. i plan on doing this brew on saturday and was wondering if fresh orange peel would be ok?
i would also like to add a couple ounces to the secondary with the dry hop. would this work ok? impart some orange aroma to mix with the cascades garpfruit?
thanks a million for sharing the recipe way back when!
I did this recipe with orange zest from a few naval oranges and it turned out great, but I'd be careful if using whole orange peels because the white part can be extremely bitter, in a bad way. I've heard of people using those small oranges, clementines I think they're called, because they have very little white part but I've never tried it myself.
thanks for that advice and what would you recommend i use to peel these rinds off the orange while avoiding the white part?
do you think it would be ok to put orange peel in with the dry hop?
i made this today. zesting oranges is work!
so is crushing coriander for that matter!
ended up at 1050 for gravity.
the wort smelled so fresh and delicious. i definitley see what the coriander will do for this beer now.

Just dropping in to give thanks to blacklab for this recipe. I bottled on 1-4-13 and am enjoying my first pint as we speak. (sneak preview) I'm not one for fruit beer, actually made it for swmbo...but I'm going to be all over this one. I stayed very true to the recipe, used 1 oz sweet + 1 oz bitter dry orange peel, only 1 pack so4, and used a touch more vienna. Hit 6.2%abv. My take on the beer so far...
The soft nose is all cascade with coriander, the initial taste is clean with the orange and cascades blending perfect. First sip I thought the orange peel was a touch overbearing, but it's growing on me. It's not too sweet, I don't like sweet. Hops are dominating, coriander is letting itself be known in the aftertaste, which is nice and bitter, begging for another sip. This beer rocks! Thank you.
Go Beavs
Awesome, glad you like it! Hope you're enjoying Bend, I lived there for years. Really miss it.
Bend is Just keeps getting better! You might be interested to know a new brewery is opening here this week. It is going to be the second largest, behind Deschutes. It's a massive building, with the first canning line in the area. I think that makes 14 breweries..:rockin:..Thanks again, cheers
He teamed up with the great Larry Sidor, and others and opened 'Crux' last summer. Small scale, exceptional beer.Is that the Paul Evers joint?
I know I'm old, but what does swmbo stand for. I've seen this on a number of forum topics, but don't have any idea of what it means.
I don't know why you're asking this here; this beer does not call for a dry swmbo.
