Citrus Wheat Beer (Round 2)

This is a revised version of a wheat beer I made last fall. You can find the post here on the blog entitled "Citrus Wheat Beer." I made a few changes, trying to play off the great flavor I got last time while trying to add more wheat flavors to make it more of an "authentic" wheat beer. I brewed this batch last Thursday. Hopefully it will turn out as successful as the first try.

Ingredients:
6.6 pounds Wheat Malt Extract
1 pound Wheat Grain (85 L)
1 pound Flaked Wheat (2 L)
1 ounce Liberty Hops
2 Oranges, Sliced
Zest of 1 Lemon
1 package (11 g) of American Ale Yeast (S-33)
3/4 cup of Corn Sugar (priming)

Instructions:

• Steep grains and wheat at 150 F for 30-60 minutes.
• Stir in malt extract. Bring to boil for 1 hour.
• Once wort begins to boil, add hops.
• Add oranges in last 10-15 minutes of boil.
• Add lemon zest in last 5-7 minutes of boil.
• Chill wort quickly and add to fermenter.
• Pitch yeast and seal fermenter.
• Ferment in primary for 7 days.
• Transfer to secondary fermenter. Let sit for 7 more days.
• Boil corn sugar in 2 cups water for priming solution.
• Pour priming solution into bottling bucket.
• Transfer wort from secondary to bottling bucket. Let sit for 2-5 minutes. Bottle.
• Let beer stand in bottles 10-14 days.

I will let you know how it turns out once I've tried it.

Until Next Time,
