One of the great things about being a home brewer is that I can not only make beers to have available when what I like isn't "in season", but I can create new beers, as well. This is one of those beers.
Initial Brew Day: 14 Dec 2019
Partial Mash:
8 oz Special B
2 oz flaked wheat
Boil (20 min):
1 lb DME
4 oz table sugar
Racked the wort on to ~1 1/2 Goodbelly Straight Shots, and then placed on a warming plate. I don't want an over-powering tartness, and this will likely be subtle enough to just give a bit of tartness and let other flavors come through.
Second Brew Day: 17 Dec 2019
Boil (20 min):
Hops:
7 g Hallertau Blanc (@ 20 min)
7 g Hallertau Blanc (@ 5 min)
4 g dried sweet orange peel (@ 5 min)
3 g crushed coriander seeds (@ 5 min)
Yeast: Omega Hot Head
After boiling the wort and pitching the yeast, I placed the beer on a warming plate.
Addendum, 24 Dec: Transferred to secondary.
Addendum, 29 Dec: Bottled on 2 T table sugar dissolved in 1/2 cup boiling water. Got 8 good bottles and one re-purposed soda bottle.
Addendum, 7 Jan: Put a bottle in the fridge this morning to chill, thinking it would be fine. The re-purposed soda bottle is clearly under pressure. However, the beer came out flat, and tasted "off". I'm going to remake this beer, using US-05 yeast.
