Tangerine Wheat #2

The first time I attempted this brew, I wanted to be a "purist"; instead of using extract (I'd read that that's how Lost City made theirs), I wanted to use orange zest.  Which I did.  And it didn't work, at least not in the sense that I'd replicated the flavor.  Not long ago, we'd been to a restaurant that offered the beer, and after tasting it, I thought, "yeah, okay, they use extract."  So, I picked up some Brewer's Best tangerine extract, and decided to give it a run.

Based on some online reading, I'll add about an ounce of the extract to the beer at bottling; put the bottling sugar in the fermenter, add the extract, and then rack the beer onto them both just prior to bottling.

Note: 1 oz ~ 30 ml

Brew Day: 2 Dec 2019

Partial Mash:
8 oz 2-row malt
2 oz flaked wheat

Boil (20 min):
1 lb Bavarian wheat DME
4 oz table sugar

Hops: UK Fuggle (@ 20 min)

Yeast: Horindahl Kviek

After pitching the yeast, place the fermenter on a warming plate.

Addendum, 3 Dec: It's been about 11 hrs since I pitched the yeast, and the beer is fermenting enthusiastically.

Addendum, 10 Dec: Transferred the beer to secondary, taking it off of the warming plate.

Addendum, 24 Dec: Bottled today, on 3/4 oz of table sugar dissolved in 1/2 c boiling water, and 40 ml of tangerine flavoring.  Got 8 good bottles and 1 re-purposed soda bottle.

Addendum, 7 Jan: I put two regular bottles and the re-purposed soda bottle in the fridge to chill last night, and noticed that the soda bottle did not seem to be under pressure.  I opened one of the regular bottles for my wife tonight, and noticed there was no distinctive escaping of air.  The beer was flat, and even though it had a strong aroma of tangerine, it tasted "off".  I'm going to empty and clean all of the bottles, and then re-do the beer, using US-05 yeast.
