Orange Wheat

Last Summer (2009) Harpoon released a new addition to the UFO line up, UFO White.  I loved that beer and drank a couple cases over the course of the summer. This year I wanted to make something that was similar and had that great orange busrt of flavor in it.  So here is what I came up with. Again, its not supposed to be a dead on clone.  UFO White was just an inspiration for this effort.

12 gallon post boil batch size
75% efficiency
90 minute boil
EST OG 1.053
EST IBU 34
MASH Temp 152F

10# Pilsner
10# Wheat
1# Honey Malt
1# Munich 10L
0.5# Acid Malt  (added at mash out)
0.5# Rice Hulls
1.0 oz Hallertauer (3.8%AA) 60min
1.0 oz Magnum (15% AA) 60min
1.0 oz Hallertauer (3.8%AA) 30min
1.0 oz Hallertauer (3.8%AA) 10 min
1.0 oz Corriander seed (2min)
Zest of 6 oranges fresh (2 min)

Split batch on WLP001 and WLP400

Note: The acid malt was a fun last minute thought.  Maybe to just give the beer a mild tartness with the sweet orange peel.... We'll see.



 

Hmmmm, seems you could have made the African Amber instead of going through all the effort of making this one.  I love you man, but if you don't make that beer this year, you and me are gonna have words, lol

Its going in the queu!

I like the AA, but I NEEDED to get this orangey beer made.  I am starting to sound a little sally with this fruity beer desire I think.
