All grain
boil volume-6.5
Final volume-5.5 gallons
Alcohol-5.1% v/v (4.0% w/w)

5.5 lb. Belgian Pilsner
3 lb. Wheat malt
8 oz. Rye (raw)
8 oz. Dextrine malt (Cara-Pils)
6 oz. Flaked oats

0.75 oz. Hallertauer (6% AA, 60 min.)
0.25 oz. Hallertauer (6% AA, 20 min.)
zest of one average size fresh grape fruit @ 15 min
zest of two average sized fresh tangerines @ 10 min
( I used fresh fruit so it would have good oils to extract from the peel )
2 tablespoons crushed corriander seed at 5 min

turned out pretty good for a Belgian Wit ( which is not one of my favorite styles, But I like this one, probably just because I made it ) I made this up for my Blue Moon drinking sister, shes an Orange slice type of wheat beer drinker and this is perfect for that. I also tossed in a half table spoon of crushed corriander to the primary after a week of fermentation. didnt know if it would have an effect. just wanted to try it.

How much did the 2 zested tangerines come through in the beer? I thinking of making a rye with some tangerine zest to make it a lil more festive.

I thought it was really citrusy, I had also added corriander to the primary. You should look in the first ever HBC swap thread to see what was said about this beer.

Is this the same recipe you sent me in the tourbox?

[Ronthered]

yeah I think

[Barley-Davidson]

Then the citrus definately came through, very bright citrus taste.
