Melanodin Malt 100g

Hops: Hallertauer Mittelfruh 30g 60mins

Crushed Coriander 10g 15mins
Orange Peel 10g 15mins

I made this recipe a month or so ago but I made a balls of batch sparging which brought my numbers way down.
Saying that it still came out lovely.
This time I'll hopefully not feck it up and produce it in all it's glory.

Had a Kinnegar White Rabbit last night..... Get it and compare. if yours doesn't taste as good as that..... Do over till it does.

Must track it down for a comparison.

Finished up with an OG of 1.040
According to my notes it should of been at 1.054.

Anyway pitched the yeast and now for the waiting game.

Here's one I made earlier.
Missed my numbers but figured that's because I mashed too high.
Mighty nice though on a warm today.

Second American Wheat Ale.
This time with white wheat malt instead of dark.
The taste is sweeter and the colour lighter.
Very easy drinker with light hop flavour.

when you say you add corriander and orange peel at 0 mins , do you mean you just ad to the fermenter?

When I say add at 0mins it means you add the items at 'flame out'
ie: when you take it off the boil (or in my case when you pull the plug out of the peco boiler)

Do you mind if I ask what went wrong with the batch sparging mentioned in the first post? Am about to do it for the first time this weekend!

I have a feeling that it was the grind of the grain that caused me problems.
Next time I'll make sure my local friendly HBS puts it through twice to be sure.
