hi jasony
keep in touch as to how you go with the orange peel as im keen to try this recipe at a later/sooner date but will also have to resort to orange peel.cant see any reason why it wont work unless you require a certain breed of orange.?

cheers

Hi Jason

In the Adelaide asian shops you can get a dried orange peel in 50g packs. I think the brand is Xinghui (or similar). You should be able to get that wherever you are.

I put my coriander seeds through my grain mill just before it goes into the boil. It releases a very nice aroma then.

Howdy Pedro,
Did this stuff look "mouldy". I bought some and took it home. I tried it as it was and it seemed like it was coated with a sugary substance. I couldn't putit in my beer.
So I took a lime and and orange. Peeled the skin careful not to take off the white immediately under the skin.
Placed it on a plate and dried it in the sun for a couple of hours.
Smelled and tasted better than the asian stuff. Maybe I found the wrong stuff??

This didn't have mould or any sugary substance on it. The colour was dark brown from the orange outside and what I suppose you could call a mouldy colour from what was the inside.

I got mine from the large asian supermarket in the markets. It is right next to the newer food court.

I have used the stuff a few times without a hassle.

Cheers
Pedro

Are you using the whitelabs yeast or wyeast? I will most likely go the wyeast as it is easier to get a hold of.

The first two I did using the recipe posted in this topic I used White Labs WLP400 Wit yeast.
For my latest version which is quite different to the recipe posted here I've used the White Labs Saison Yeast WLP565.

Beers,
Doc
