Actual recipe used a bit less extract, and the results showed.
|
Add candied ginger to secondary.
|
Came out too hoppy, but the fix is to increase malt -- see the starting recipe.
|
Treat water with campden tablet to remove chlorine before beginning. Adjust pH with phosphoric acid to 5-6
Increased malt over 2009 version. Orange flavor more from Summit hops than from orange peel addition. A Belgian yeast, more fruity than spicy, should work well, too.
