you want to avoid any of the pith (white flesh) while zesting and then also peeling the skin off the fruit. If you leave any of the pith while steeping/boiling it will cause a bitter taste. Cheers

I always have this on tap. I back sweeten with about 3 cans of apple juice concentrate when I keg it. I do a very low carbonation (just enough to push it thru the faucet). If you are on the fence about brewing this recipe...don't be. I have tried to find a better recipe or commercial ciders and...

Any updates on your batches. How'd it taste?

I would just cut the slices of orange into small pieces and not put it into any bag. Once you rack your beer the small pieces of orange should be easy to remove from the carboy.

Can't wait to hear your tasting notes!!

It's a Belgian Witbier, it's supposed to have a haze to it. This style is not a clear beer. In fact you should pour most of the bottle out, leave a little and swirl it around to pick up some of the yeast and finish the pour. Cheers

East Kent Golding are the american version of UK Kent Golding imported and now grown by HopUnion I belive. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. You can use either one (read "they are the same')

Anyone brewed this one again?? Blood Oranges are in season again. Cheers and let me know how it turns out??

Thats straight up badass!!!

So glad you guys are enjoying the recipe. I have yet to make it with anything other then the Blood Oranges, with all your great results I'm tempted to try it with a different variety. Cheers

She's a keeper.....and the wife too! ;-)

Hate to say it but not a lot of lemon flavor...I followed the recipe to the "T" except I used Cluster hops because that is what Leinenkugel's uses. I don't know if by kegging it the lemon drops out of suspension so I lose it after the first few pours or what?? So with bottling you don't lose...

Just kegged this last night. OG and FG were pretty spot on as well. I think my FG was 1.012 instead of 1.011. Base beer tasted great even before the lemon was added. Can't wait til this is all carbed up and ready to go. Thanks Uniondr!!

SarcasticHorse, Can't wait to hear your tasting results. Cheers!!!

Thanks much Uniondr for the clarification. Getting ready to keg this next week. :mug:

Just brewed this last saturday night. Will report back with results. Plan to keg and have ready for 4th of July party (July 7th). One question, why the reduction in lemon packets? I see you went from 12 to 10 now. Was it just too much lemon? Cheers

jtaguy & mward43, I'm sure you both will love it. I just had some this past weekend thats been on tap for a few months. Awesome tasting beer. Report back your tasting notes. Would love to hear your thoughts on it. Cheers

Honestly I don't know what to use as a substitute? Part of the coolness factor with this recipe is that for most people in the US Blood Oranges are only available just one or two times a year. You could do a search online about oranges and see the difference in taste profiles and see what you...

How much are you asking for them??? Shipping to Omaha NE? PM me

Any chance that the tension on the lid from the tower being bolted on is causing the lid to flex? Or is the support arm on the inside causing it to flex? I would check those two things first.
