Got started around 5:45AM. At first I was thinking that the LHBS hadn't given me the whole 12oz of Midnight Wheat, but after mashing awhile it got where I thought it should be. The sparge didn't really give me the efficiency boost that I thought it would, but I'm not sure it actually calculated right. I had to add .5lbs DME and boil and extra 15 minutes, but the OG was 1.060, which is right on plan. Just racked over the yeast cake of Summer Lovin. It will be interesting to see if I detect any coriander flavor. Am pretty much cleaned up a little before 10am.6/19/2024 9:00:26 AM5226#/recipes/recipe.aspx?id=230#commentshttp://www.sheppybrew.com/images/beer.icohttp://www.sheppybrew.com/images/beer.icohttp://www.sheppybrew.com/recipes/recipe.aspx?id=41&d=06_19_2024My beer model wanted to brew a beer like New Belgium's Sunshine Wheat on the 2011 National National Home-Brew Day.6/19/2024 7:34:12 AM41#/recipes/recipe.aspx?id=41-06/19/2024http://www.sheppybrew.com/images/beer.icohttp://www.sheppybrew.com/images/beer.icohttp://www.sheppybrew.com/recipes/recipe.aspx?id=229#comment5224Clan DunBroch Scottish Ale When I kegged Summer Lovin, I felt this keg.

I had some issues with the zest, but I think I got about an ounce and a half in the keg in a muslin bag. Calling the FG 1.008. This puts the beer right at 5.3% ABV. Not getting a whole lot of orange flavor from the coriander, but the beer is pretty much what we've come to expect otherwise.
