Brewing an Amber Lager today with lots of Sterling hops late and S-23 slurry. My first go with S-23 turned out well so I decided to put the slurry to use.

After drinking this batch I've come to the conclusion orange peel doesn't belong in my beers.

50g is a lot especially dried. i havent used orange zest in a long time but i an only remember like 1 or 2 tsp max of fresh zest with no pith. 50g would be several heaping tsp i believe

What is the yeast? Your recipe says “WY150”. WY1450?

Thanks

First brew in a while. Just an IPA with Bravo at 60 and Triple Pearl & Vic's Secret and planned dry hop with the same two. Looking at "West Coast"-esque brew. I know the hops don't fit, but they are what I have on hand.

Maybe it was just the wrong recipe to use it in.  I'd also question the amount and how you prepared it.

Over time I've tried other methods, this was a last ditch effort.
I need to focus on the 4 main ingredients before getting fancy.

50g is a lot especially dried. i havent used orange zest in a long time but i an only remember like 1 or 2 tsp max of fresh zest with no pith. 50g would be several heaping tsp i believe

Point taken, I think your right.

50g is about 1/4 cup and would be a very big dose of orange zest.  :o

Yeah that’s a ton of orange. I use the zest of one orange post fermentation with good results. I think it’s less than 10g
On Tap/Bottled: IPL, Adjunct Vienna, Golden Stout, Honey Lager

Thanks all, was trying the lazy way out.
Fresh orange zest is the way to go, not dried, and in lower amounts.
Beer is not too bad, but not up to the American Homebrewers Association standards. :(

There's a lot to be said for dried, too, used properly.  That said, consider this.....in witbier, bitter orange peel is used for bittering and coriander seed is used for orange flavor.

Interesting looking beer with that hop combo. I managed to put together the annual Berry Mead yesterday (Orange Blossom honey, Michigan UP blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries.
