Zwicklemania, a brewery-crawl thru portland that happened in January, led me to stumble upon Rogue's Honey-Orange Wheat, an immensely quaffable, juicy brew that I determined on the spot to be my new favorite hot afternoon beer. A quest to clone it brewed in my head. Here is the recipe I used:
3.5# malted wheat
2.5# domestic 2 row
1 oz Willamette Hops added at 60 minutes
1 oz Willamette Hops added at 20 minutes
2# wildflower honey & 2c fancy britches orange juice added at the end of the boil
Let it ferment 5 weeks & bottled it last saturday. It was quite pale, and the honey flavor was strong in the obligatory uncarbonated sample, but we shall see what pours out in two weeks!
