Orange Cranberry ideas

Post by Barkhouse » Wed Oct 24, 2012 7:50 pm

Hi All!
New to the Brewnosers website. Great site everyone.
I have been making all grain for some time now. Extract for even longer!! Recently my wife has approached me and asked me to make her an orange cranberry ale. I am really not sure which way to go. I considered making a wheat beer recipe (kind of like a Hoegaarden) keeping out the coriander and replacing it with a pound of frozen cranberries.
Any suggestions or ideas would be great.

That sounds like a reasonable idea, but I think you want to keep the coriander in..???

I made an apple cranberry mead a few years ago. A bragget or honey beer is probably not a bad option either.

I wanted to stick with a wheat beer or maybe a pale. I have been doing a lot of reading about cranberry beers. Sounds like the results are mixed. 23 liters of really sour tasting beer doesn't sound too good.

It could be, drop the hops and go for a lambic. :)

What I ended up doing is buying a festa brew wheat beer.(I know easy but I didn't want to spend 4 extra hours for a beer just in case it didn't turn out)
Adding 1oz of sweet orange peel. 1/2 pound of chopped cranberries which I heated to 170 degrees to pasteurize. I added a pack of Wyest 3068 , Weihenstephan Weizen . I will also ferment this around 12-14 degrees so that I don't get to many esters. I am also going to put about a half a pound of cranberries in the secondary too. Hope it turns out!! Any thoughts?
