Hello-- Trying to develop a summer-ish beer recipe.
This is what I have:

1 lb honey malt
6 lb pilsner LME
2 lb honey (local raw)

1 oz willamtte (15 mins)
1 oz citra (30 mins)

.75 oz sweet orange peel (flameout)
.5 oz coriander seed (flameout)

US-05

Any thoughts?
I have never used orange peel or coriander seed before. Don't want overpowering flavor but want there to be a little something from them.

Beer Smith gives me OG of 1.058

Thanks!
 
Recipe looks pretty good. I would walk that OG down a bit. Summer beers need to be dry and quaffable. I would target more around 1.048-50. Once it dries out, you will end up around 5-5.2 ABV. 1.048 OG with an FG of 1.008 will get you around 5.2% ABV. I don't think a summer beer should be much higher than that or it gets too heavy to drink in quantity.

What IBU are you targeting? I would shoot in the 20-30 range and you should be good.
