Sweet orange peel

Sweet orange peel - shredded

Sweet orange peel is a popular ingredient in beer, especially in styles such as:

• Belgian Witbier: This is a classic style with sweet orange peel and coriander as one of the main flavor and aroma elements.
• Belgian Strong Ale: Sweet orange peel can add complexity and citrus notes to strong Belgian ales.
• Holiday Beers: Often used in holiday beers along with other spices such as cinnamon and cloves.
• Pale Ales and IPAs: Sometimes added to provide bright citrus aromas, especially if hops with a similar profile are used.

Important to know:

• Sweet vs. Bitter Orange Peel: There are two main types of orange peel used in brewing. Sweet orange peel (usually from regular table oranges) provides a more recognizable sweet orange flavor and aroma. Bitter orange peel (often called Curaçao peel) provides more citrus bitterness and complexity.
• When to add: Sweet orange peel is usually added a few minutes before the end of cooking to release the aromas. Sometimes it can also be added at the end of fermentation.
• How much to add: The amount depends on the desired result and beer style. Typically, a few grams to a dozen grams are used for a 20L batch.
