Notes
- Add all steeping grains to steeping bag and steep as per your preferred steeping method. Generally, 150 F for 30 minutes.
- Remove grains, bring to boil then turn off heat, and add extract. Once extract is amply mixed, bring back to a boil.
- Once water comes to a boil, add bittering hops and start the 60 min clock.
** Orange Blossom Honey used. For a lighter & flora flavor use "Fire Weed" honey.
** Navel Orange Zest
- The wort is divided into two 1.4 gal. fermentors, top off (add .6 gals) into each fermentor this should give an approx. vol. of 1.3 per fermentor.
- Bottle after 1st Ferm.... let sit on trub for 1-2 weeks (timing is somewhat flexible) then bottle.
- Add 1 sugar fizz drop per bottle when bottling.
- After bottling let sit for 2 to 4 weeks, timing is somewhat flexiable.
****** I found 7 weeks in the bottle allowed the orange flavor & aroma to come though. *******This Recipe Has Not Been Rated
