Maybe I should start here? I posted this under ingredients but have not had any replies. I'm brewing this weekend and hope to get some help. I've been brewing about 10 years, mainly kegging and a little bottling here and there. I love Kolsch and Belgians. Make some pretty good pulled pork, too. :cross: So my post is below. Thanks.
Im new to the forum and have a question on a rather old post. It involved a Blue Moon clone and was posted on 5-9-2008. The two members were DaleJ and Wayne1. Wayne1 was a former Coors man and gave the proportions for an early version of Blue Moon. Here is where I need some help. He said to add 1.25 tsp of ground coriander during the last 10 minutes of a 5-6 gallon boil, and then .33 tsp of ground Valencia orange peel the last 5 minutes. Now I know ground coriander will go a lot further than the crushed seed version, so 1.25 tsp seems correct. But the orange peel has me stumped. .33 teaspoons is nothing in 5-6 gallons. Typically Belgian Wit recipes call for an ounce of orange peel.
Has anyone followed these proportions with success? Could his units of measure be off? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
