Frequently asked questions about MBP0003.1K
How much bitter orange peel to add per 23 L batch?
The recommended dose is 18-30 grams per 23 liters. Start at 18-20g for a subtle citrus nuance and go up to 30g for the pronounced aroma of a Belgian Wit or Grand Cru. The exact amount depends on the desired intensity of aroma and the other spices used in the recipe.
When to add orange peel when brewing?
Add bitter orange zest during the last 15 minutes of cooking. This preserves the delicate volatile aromatic compounds while allowing the extraction of flavors. Adding too early will cause the aromas to evaporate; adding too late will reduce proper disinfection and flavor integration.
Which beer styles benefit the most from bitter orange peel?
Belgian Wit (Bière Blanche) is a classic style traditionally flavored with bitter orange peel and coriander. It is also widely used in Grand Cru, Tripel, Christmas beers and American Wheat beers. The ingredient pairs well with noble hops and Belgian yeast strains, adding depth and complexity.
Does bitter orange peel contain allergens?
The product itself is made from bitter orange peel, but due to the production environment it may contain traces of BARLEY, WHEAT, OATS, RYE and SPELLET. If you are brewing gluten-free beer or have a grain allergy, please consider this before use.
How to store bitter orange peel?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odors. Keep the package tightly closed after opening to preserve the aromatic oils. When properly stored, dried orange peel retains its aromatic properties for several months.
