Subject: Not-so-orange Honey Lager

--------

	Recently, I tried a variation of the Crystal Honey Lager
	recipe from CJOHB by adding the peels from 5 oranges to
	the boiling wort.  I boiled 4 of the peels for 30 min, and
	added the last orange during the last 5 minutes of the boil.
	The batch had a wonderful orange aroma during the boil and
	througout fermentation, but when I tasted the first bottle
	of it yesterday, it has absolutely no orange aroma or flavor!
	The beer has a slight bitterness, but you'd be pretty hard
	pressed to identify it as orange.  I was wondering if
	anyone has succesfully used oranges in recipes and what
	amounts and procedures were used.  For this recipe I was
	shooting for the light honey lager with a nice orange aroma
	and a subtle orange flavor.

	While we're on the subject of strange brews, anyone ever
	tried adding sasafras root to a recipe?  I'll know in 
	about 3 weeks how it tastes!

Subject: Starting Out

I am interested in starting to brew my own beer as well as possible
build a still.  Could anyone suggest a good book(s) to read  so that I
can get on my way?

Later,

me
