Hey all, I done a whitbeer 4 days ago, first attempt at BIAB whitbeer, got the white colour alright so was happy with that, but shit did it turn out bitter.
I don't know enough about this style beer to say wheather I have done it wrong, but the bitterness did worry me, am I right in thinking this is the raw wheat adding sourness to the beer?.
I used 60% pilsner, 40% raw flaked wheat 500 g falked oats, then used around 15g crushed corriander, 21g fresh orange peel and 14g bitter orange peel (all added with 20min to go on boil). the hop IBU was low at 19ibu and consisted of goldings and B sazz.............oh yeh and it was a 24 litre batch.
I just hope I didn't over do the orange peel, my thinking was to offset the bitter orange with the fresh orange peel adding a sweet flavour.
