Cheap n easy bodged wit

[Scotty]

Inspired by dave-o's cheap n easy wit recipe thread (viewtopic.php?f=5&t=38303), I have modified the recipe a bit to suit what I have in stock. I plan on brewing this tomorrow if all goes to plan.

Whoregarden

For 40l

Lager malt - 4.5kg
Wheat malt - 1.7kg
Flaked wheat - 1kg
Porridge oats - 0.75kg

Saaz - 40g @ 60 mins
Styrians - 35g @ 0 mins

Coriander seed - 15g @ 15 mins
Orange peel - 10g @ 15 mins

Est SG - 1.046
Est FG - 1.010
Est ABV - 4.7%
Est IBU - 11.4
Est EBC - 5.5

Water treated to less than 50 mg/l CaCO3, gypsom into mash and start of boil and no copper finings.

How does that sound? I've never used coriander or orange peel before and I don't know if the amounts are too extreme. I know it probably isn't true to the style but I think it's worth a punt

For 40 litres is there enough wheat? I thought it needs to be 50- 50 Malt to Wheat.

What do I know????

I'd still be tempted to use copper finings personally, in the Wheat beer I made a while back I didn't use them and it leaves a heck of a lot of sediment in the bottles.
So if I were to do another I'd copper fine then rely more on the swirl of the bottle dregs to add the cloudiness to the glass.

cheers pdtnc, but I'm going to serve from cornies not bottles. Do you reckon I should use finings still?

[WishboneBrewery]

dunno, no experience of cloudy beer in cornies.
