I have a 3kg tub of orange blossom honey. Honey wheat beer comes to mind just wondering what else I could do with this?
Mead or blonde, but can you get more?
where do you get that stuff? would love to have some.
there's a recipe in Pierre Rajotte's "Belgian Beer" (in the classic style series) called "Gouden Charlie" I think that calls for 500g or a kilo of specifically orange blossom honey. I would post the recipe but I lent my copy of the book. I think it had something like: 50% munich, 45% pale, 5% pale crystal, plus the honey, to 1065 OG, goldings for 20IBU and small amount of tettnang for aroma.
when i made it i didnt have orange blossom honey so i used normal honey plus a bit of orange blossom water. think i used my usual WLP530. turned out to be one of the best beers ive made, a nice malty and aromatic thoughtful sort of a beer.
That sounds great. If you get the book back I'd love a copy of the recipe.
Cheers
Francis.
