Hey everyone,
So I'm pretty new at this (my second brew) and I decided to try out a Belgian Wit recipe at my local brew shop with some slight modifications.
Recipe I used as follows:
6 lbs Wheat Malt extract
0.5 lbs adjuct sugar
Grain:
7 oz. CaraPils
1 oz. Belgian Aromatic
Hops:
0.45 oz. Perle (7.9%) (60 min)
0.5 oz. Saaz (5 min)
0.25 oz. Cascade (5 min)
WLP400 Belgian Wit ale Yeast
Now here's where I might have (probably) gone wrong.
I'm not sure if the mistake was on the shop owners side or maybe I just misheard him, but I added a large handful of Blood Orange zest and 0.5 oz. of crushed coriander for about 60 min of the boil.
After having read several threads on the subject after placing in primary fermenter (which 24 hours later is going crazy fermenting at 73F with none of the bad smell I've heard is associated with this strain of yeast) I'm now quite worried I've ruined this batch as I can't stand bitter beers (IPA etc)
Is there any hope?
