![]() At the same time, I’d start heating up 6 gallons of brewing water. I would crush and combine the munich, honey malts in 2.5 quarts of water and let them rest together at ~150F for 60minutes or so. First off drop the rice hulls, those were in there for my lautering needs. So this recipe may be a fun way to try something new. To do this with extract requires the use of a little partial mash process. This is for a 6 gallon extract/partial mash batch. Ok enough justification here is the recipe: Not enough to notice as sour, but enough to get the orange to stand out a bit and seem “bright”….if that makes sense. ![]() I also added a touch of acid malt to the batch, because I wanted to see if I could get a little bit of sourness. Not sure what flavor profile I was going to get with the American but I wanted to try a witte at the same time so there is the experiment. ![]() I decided to two 12 gallons and I split the batch into two fermenters to pitch two yeasts: WLP001 and WLP400, American Ale yeast and Belgian Wit Yeast. I wasn’t shooting for a dead-on clone, just a great wheat beer with an orange flavor and aroma to it. So I decided if I could brew something similar to it, I wouldn’t have to buy it. I love the orange background in the beer and last summer I must have bought two cases worth over the summer. I was shooting for something similar to Harpoon’s UFO White. Life had given us lemons, so we rolled up our sleeves, sliced them up, and garnished our first beer with them-a cloudy hefeweizen called UFO.Here is the recipe for my Orange infused wheat beer I brewed this past Friday night. We couldn’t get enough of the stuff, but the style had yet to make its way to our home in the Northeast. On a fateful voyage to the opposite coast, we discovered that breweries of the Pacific Northwest were serving up delicious pints of cloudy wheat beer, a new concept for American craft brewing. The X-Files movie was coming out (Lost in Space too, but we don’t really like to talk about that). NASA was sending John Glenn back into space. The year was 1998, and we were feeling aspirational. We launched UFO Beer Company to challenge what craft beer could look and taste like. In 2014, Harpoon became an employee-owned company. Harpoon’s line of craft beer features its award-winning IPA and seasonal beers, along with special limited releases. When the Brewery was founded, Harpoon was issued Brewing Permit #001 by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, since it was the first to brew commercially in Boston after a dormant period of about 25 years. The Harpoon Brewery was founded in 1986 by beer lovers who wanted more and better beer options. Northern Lights was the natural choice of name for UFO’s new winter mix pack that rings in the holidays and celebrates the beautiful midnight tableaus of the winter months. UFO is no stranger to the mysteries of the night sky, and few compare to the beauty of the northern lights. It’s always a good time with this Wintry Mix! Featuring a friendly and festive lineup of employee-owner-brewed beers, including two New England originals, a big and juicy IPA, and a mix-pack exclusive, this pack is sure to delight imbibers this season. Both mix packs will be available throughout December and retail for a MSRP of $14.99. Additional details and beers included in each mix pack are below. New to the Harpoon and UFO families this year are two seasonal mix packs that offer a variety of beers to leave tastebuds feeling jolly: Harpoon’s Wintry Mix and UFO’s Northern Lights. PRESS RELEASE / Novem(Boston, MA) – As you’re planning for Friendsgiving festivities or White Elephant parties, a holiday mix pack can be a new way to offer guests seasonal beverages that go beyond cocktails or wine.
