Orange Cascade

thats interesting. so how much coriander leaves would you add to a 23 litre batch and when are they added to the boil?

when i brew this one again maybe next time i might try this to see the difference

[haz66]

Good question, i`d probably go for 25g near the end.
I`ve never used corriander in a beer but i like the taste of them on my curry/salads.
But i`ll not be adding any chili`s

I had a beer last night brewed with Cascades and lemon zest, was pretty tasty!

The last pale I did was using last years home grown First Gold, that had a tangerine/marmalade taste from the hops alone.

This sounds good, being a Cascade whore myself i think this is going on my to do list to.
Think i may change the corriander seeds for leaves though, as i love the taste of corriander.

Strange I always think freshly crushed coriander seeds is much more pungent that the leaves.

I'd agree with delboy. I have used both in brews, and the leaf is more subtle and also a completely different taste. I don't see it being used much, and I sort of understand why. The seed is far stronger, nice, but easy to over do.

Should these be crushed or can you just use ground coriander from spice jars?

[simple one]

You can used crushed but some may get through in to the FV which would really spice things up. I have always read that the fresh seeds, and freshly crushed is better.
If I used leaf again I think I would make a tea of it prior to brewing to sample exactly what taste goes through.

Why not add a spoonful of lime pickle to and see how it turns out

Seriously though at a guess i wouldn`t use ground corriander myself, but thats not to say it wouldn`t do the job,
but i`m guessing freshly ground seeds would have a lot more flavour than powered.

Now your talking; that's serious ruby murray talk there mister!

I'll throw 25g in the pestle n mortar and have a crack at it
