Hi all, I recently completed my first AG following the recipe on this forum and immediately I have set out to do another. It's a wheat beer this time so I was wondering if you had some general advice for when it comes to wheat beer?

I'm roughly following a recipe I found online which originally came from a book. I'm planning on a 10L batch size and using the following BeerSmith reckons I'll get an OG = 1046, ABV = 4.5%, IBU = 23 & SRM = 3.3.

I was also thinking of using some coriander seeds and dried orange peel but have no idea when it comes to quantity / when to add this?

1.20kg Wheat Malt
0.8kg Pilsner Malt
0.12kg CaraPils
7g Citra pellets (70mins)
1/4 Protofloc tablet 15mins
10g Citra Pellets (flameout)
Safbrew WB-06 yeast

Any comments appreciated :thumb:
 
Looks fine to me.

Will be very light and sessionable.

I'd probably dry hop with around 15g of citra too!
 
Thanks for the replies, I did see Amarillo mentioned in a few other posts for wheat beer. Might have to be an addition when I visit the home brew shop this week. Reassuring that the recipe looks okay.
