We revisit an old favorite, Belgian wit beer with oranges. This time we substituted blood oranges for regular navel oranges and experimented with two different ways to add the fruit to the beer.
Ingredients for 10 gallons:
11 lbs 12.0 oz Wheat Malt; White (2.1 SRM)
9 lbs 8.0 oz 2-row American Pale Malt (Briess)
2 lbs Vienna Malt
8.0 oz Flaked Barley (1.4 SRM)
2.00 oz Cascade Pellets [6.20 %] - Boil 60.0 min
2.00 oz Cascade Pellets [6.20 %] - Boil 10.0 min
4.0 pkg Belgian Witbier (Wyeast Labs #3944)

I'm just getting myself into homebrewing at the moment and wanted to say that your videos are so interesting to watch and well edited, great job keep it going!

@TheHomebrewChallenge 5 лет назад

Thank you!

@hemavol6449 2 года назад

I wish you reviewed the beer more. Which one you liked more and was the orange perceivable?

@TedeTVs 5 лет назад

Nice video editing. And what a lovely beer! Cheers

I only wish I could smell this one! I bet it's glorious.

Love the videos- any chance you could put the grammes and Celsius info on the graphics for us UK viewers?! THANKS!

@TheHomebrewChallenge 5 лет назад

Yeah good point. Need to stop exclusively using weird American measurements

More than just the UK viewers cough anything international cough

@user-mr9tw6dj6h 3 года назад

dont ask too much from them. they most probably are confused themselves with the measurement units

@britishteapower 3 года назад

@@user-mr9tw6dj6h asking too much? I think it's a perfectly reasonable request. They must have a large percentage of people who rely on celsius and gramme measurements rather than farenheit/cups/ounces.

Nice video and thanks for adding the recipe. I would have appreciated a summary of your thoughts. Did the Juice plus rind beat the rind only brew? Or vice versa? Is adding the oranges worth the trouble, etc.?

@TheHomebrewChallenge 5 лет назад

Well for Hernan he could taste the difference and liked the version with the whole fruit added better. I struggled to differentiate the two in taste tests.

@jasonwelsh3256 5 лет назад

not sure how you don't have way more subs

@williamguy9830 4 года назад

What temperature did you ferment at? Also, I like what your doing with the challenge. Give a lot of insight to so many different beers. Thanks!

@lukehallett7387 4 года назад

Great video, excited to try this! Could you give some details on what you did to the oranges between cutting the peels off and adding to the fermentation vessel? There was some time in the microwave, and it looked like you soaked them in some liquid prior to transferring. Assuming this was to sanitize the fruit so you didn't introduce any bacteria into the fermentation, but could you give some more details including how long you microwaved them and what/if you soaked them in?

@drone4kdelestrie 4 года назад

I've read u need to soak in vodka for up to 24 h before adding to vessel. The microwave, I'm not sure why, only to kill more bacteria??

@jodylecompte 2 года назад

If they were added in last 10 minutes of boil, the boil should have been adequate to sanitize.

@JonDAlessandro 4 года назад

Really enjoying your channel. Nice work! How long does the fruit need to be microwaved (to sanitize, I assume?) and in your opinion is it worth the hassle to add the fruit, or just go with the rind only?

@TheHomebrewChallenge 4 года назад

Thanks. We were winging it with the fruit sanitation. I think we gave it maybe 30 seconds. Opinion was divided on if the fruit added anything over just using the rind.

@RaymondBotha48 5 лет назад

so Which one is better? Good vid - but would like to know which one is better..

@TheHomebrewChallenge 5 лет назад

In the end there was not a lot of difference between the two although my preference was for the beer with the whole fruit added.

@ChaoticOrder73 2 года назад

sooo.... what was the outcome? No difference? Or slight difference for the pulp and it was better?

@matiasd5216 3 года назад

Did you sterilize those oranges in the microwave oven? What is that little torch good for when you are skinning the orange?

@FoScoJo 2 года назад

I was wondering the same thing.

@bishoppope2921 2 года назад

The torch was because oranges have a flammable oil contained in their rind (its also a solvent, spray orange oil on q balloon and it'll pop) The flame was so you could see small bits of oil igniting

@jcinsaniac 5 лет назад

The flame was for the possible wax on the oranges? I've been experimenting with oranges - making a tincture and next time, the peels of 6 oranges. I just remove the pith with a special knife, so my peels are thick. I thought they would yield more flavor adding them to the boil at 10 minutes.

@TheHomebrewChallenge 5 лет назад

Actually the flame was just so we could capture some cool sparks from the juice flying out the peel. Haha.

@ShortCircuitedBrewers 5 лет назад

From a bartender technique called "flaming" an orange. Works best with a long piece of orange peel. Hold the peel up to the flame then squeeze it like you are folding it in half. It will spray the flame with orange oil and cause small burst of flames. It doesn't really work that well with zesting as you saw in the video. 👍🍻

Just brewed this in a 5 gallon batch yesterday. Seems like I could have toned back the hop additions I think I got about 32-35 ibu which for this style seemed a tad high. I’ll post back in a month and let you know how it taste. Was yours bitter or did it blend well?
