This summer for my daughter's first birthday party, we are planning on having quite a few guests. I decided to brew a beer for the occasion, and plan on brewing a different one every year to mark the occasion. I had been playing around with different ideas for UNO, trying to think of something that would be accessible to a variety of people. The party will be in July, so I wanted something lighter and decided on a wheat beer, but wanted to do something with it so it was a bit more interesting. I decided on adding orange blossom honey to the recipe. At the last minute I decided to throw a teaspoon of orange marmalade in as well. I am brewing it now so I can make any tweaks before brewing it for the party.
Here's the breakdown:
1/2 pound of org. white wheat steeped for 25 minutes
6lbs of Wheat extract for 60
1 oz. Liberty hops @ 60
1 teaspoon orange marmalade at 5 min
1 lb California Orange Blossom honey @ flame-out.
Depending on the orange presence after I transfer it, I might add another pound of the orange blossom honey in the secondary or possibly orange peels. I don't want it too overpowering and I want some honey sweetness. We'll see how it goes. A nice easy brew on a Saturday morning.
Salud!
