Notes

So much shitty stuff is happening... terrorism, extinction, global warming, zika... and now Donald Trump is now elected President! America and the World needs to cheer up and have a homebrew!

Make a big 1.2L yeast starter with my a homemade stir plate!

Added 300g of the honey for 10 minute boil only.

Smell of zesty orange peel. Delightful fresh taste with with good body. Copper colour, with taste notes of freshly crushed coriander seeds. Head is aggressive on the pour due to high carbonation, but settles comfortably after a few minutes.

>malt extract can be light or extra light
>yeast should be Belgian Wit (wheat) beer type
>use light honey

Directions for 5gal batch:
O.G.: 1.056-1.060
F.G.: 1.008-1.010
Bitterness: 18BU
Colour: 4SRM (8 EBC)
Alcohol: 6.3% by volume

Add malt extract, honey, and boiling hops to 7.5L water and boil for 60 mins. Add the Irish moss, flavour hops, and half the ground coriander for 10 mins. Add the remaining ground coriander and orange peel for the final 5 minutes. Add the aroma hops for the final 1-2 minutes of boiling. Strain, sparge, and transfer immediately to 7.5L of cold water in the fermenter. Top off with additional water to make 19L. Aaerate the wort very well. Pitch the yeast when the temperature of the wort is about 21C. Ferment at about 21C for about 1 week or when fermentatino shows signs of calming and stopping.
Prime with sugar and bottle or keg when fermentation is complete. For added attraction add one whole coriander seed to each bottle when bottling (microwave them if worried).
