Orange Peel in a Mac and Jacks Clone

[GroosBrewz]

I will be at the ale fest in April. Should be fun.

As far as M&J, I used fresh orange zest in my first brew "dry hopped", then .5oz sweet orange peel in the second one I did at 10min. Both great beers. My wife and I love M&J.

Awesome! Both to the successful M&J beers AND the Leavenworth Ale Festival!

Anyone made this clone lately? Reports?

I brewed a ten gallon batch of this today. I used some Simcoe and Amarillo, plus Cascade and Centennial. I only had ten pounds of Maris Otter, so I added eight pound of pale two row.

Used 1056 in one carboy and Safale 05 in the other. I added about a pound of orange marmalade at the end of the boil and an ounce of sweet orange peels at the thirty minute mark. SG was 1.060.

So, it's not "spot" on, but I'll report back with the results.

How did the brew turn out? Anyone else brewed this?

Try sweet orange peel. It adds 'oranginess'.

Here is a link for instructions for using fresh orange peel:https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f13/how-use-orange-peel-59351/ In a nutshell, use only zest (2 oz./5 gal. batch) for sweet, fruity flavor, or zest with some pith attached for bitter orange flavor.
