Description

Coriander seeds - 28g

Coriander is an annual herb that actually grows into what we know as Cilantro, The seeds have a citrus flavor when crushed, almost lemon like. Coriander seeds are sometimes used in brewing certain styles of beer, particularly some Belgian witbier and German Hefeweizens. When brewing wheat beers they are typically used with orange peel and ginger to add a citrus character to the beer.

Usage

The average 5 gallon beer recipe requires 0.5 oz to 1 oz of coarsely ground coriander seeds. They should be placed in a hop bag and added to the boil when 15 minutes or less remain. Flavour intensity can be varied by the amount used, coarseness of grind, and the amount of time allowed to sit in the wort before chilling.
