I am thinking about adding the tangerine extract after I filter the beer and keg it. That is where I am at and my experimental batch #4 is almost finished fermenting. My guess is that tangerine extract must be added after fermentation and/or after filtering. My guess at this point is that the tangerine extract or tangerine zest/peals do nothing to get the aroma and flavor into the beer like what you get in the Lost Coast Tangerine Wheat when added to the boil before fermentation. Again, after fermentation was complete, there was no distinct tangerine aroma or flavor but there was an increased amount of citrus aroma and flavor. I added 4oz of tangerine zest and 20ml of tangerine extract to the final 10 min of the boil.
Using tangerine slices on the glass gave it a nice touch. After fermentation was complete, there was no tangerine aroma or flavor in the beer, but it tasted really nice and clean with a hit of citrus. This time, I added 10ml of Tangerine Extract to the final 10 min of the boil. My guess is that the extract must have killed the yeast that was remaining in solution when they were bottled. In each case, none of the batches fermented in the bottle and all were flat after 2 months. I racked into a 1 gal container, added 5 different amounts of Tangerine Extract then bottled. This batch I bottled when SG was at 1.008 and used a 2/3 cup sugar primer for 5 gal. 17oz - 0minġ52deg - 60min, Single Infusion, Double Sparge Don’t get me wrong, except for the first batch, the last two batches turned out really good but lacked that tangerine burst.Īll batches have the same grain bill, hops, yeast and mash process.ġoz Peale. Let me start out by letting you all know what I have done in the previous 3 batches. I am on my forth experimental batch but yet to be successful.
#LOST COAST TANGERINE WHEAT GLASS HOW TO#
The batch that comes closest to the aroma and taste of the Lost Coast Tangerine Wheat is the winner.īottling will be this weekend and I will add more on this experiment later.I need some suggestions from my fellow brewers about how to get that great burst of tangerine aroma and flavor that you get from the Lost Coast Tangerine Wheat beer made by Lost Coast Brewery in Eureka, CA. Since I am considering this batch an experimental one, I will separate the batch into 5x1 gal amounts with different amounts of the tangerine extract in each. I decided to add the extract just before bottling instead of into the wart or fermenter. The trick is knowing how much tangerine extract to add. This recipe set the SG at 1.056 which should yield approx. Gathering bits and pieces of many different recipes, I ended up with the following partial extract list:ġ cup tangerine juice (from the rind shaven ones) It is relatively inexpensive and goes a lot further than the raw fruit. So I thought there had to be some other method and tangerine oil extract came to mind.
That made me think that it would be way to costly to make large quantities of tangerine wheat using either the whole tangerine and/or the rind. Do you know how many tangerines you need to shave to get 8 oz or rind? A ton. Some even said you needed 8 oz of the rind to make the difference. And many people tried to simply add cut-up tangerines or tangerine rind into the wart, which I personally don’t think that will work. Some ideas were pretty far fetched to say the least. I believe it so I decided to investigate beer blogs to see if anyone had cloned the beer. I have heard it described as “.taking a bite into a juice ice cold Tangerine on a hot summers day.”. I was turned on to this beer by my son a few months ago and have loved it ever since. Last week I ventured to clone a great beet, Lost Coast Tangerine Wheat from the Lost Coast Brewery in Eureka, Ca.
