Dried Sweet Orange Peel – 1 oz

Dried Sweet Orange Peel for Brewing - 1 oz

Dried sweet orange peel adds soft orange aroma and mild citrus flavor to beer, mead, cider, and other fermented beverages. It is especially useful when you want orange character without the sharper bitterness associated with bitter orange peel.

Brewing character

Sweet orange peel works well in Belgian-style witbier, wheat beer, saison, spiced ale, cider, and honey-based fermentations. It can add a light citrus top note on its own, or it can round out spice blends with coriander, chamomile, vanilla, ginger, or other complementary ingredients.

How to use sweet orange peel

• Boil addition: add during the last 5 to 10 minutes of the boil for citrus aroma and flavor extraction.
• Secondary or post-fermentation use: steep carefully when you want a fresher orange impression. Taste regularly so the citrus note does not become too strong.

Suggested usage for 5 gallons

• Light citrus aroma: 0.25 to 0.5 oz
• Balanced orange flavor: 0.5 to 1 oz
• Stronger orange character: 1 to 2 oz

This 1 oz package is a practical size for standard homebrew batches. Store sealed in a cool, dry place until brew day.
