LordEoin Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 after a few weeks sampling Texan brews, I noticed that all of my favorites had Coriander as an ingredient. Has anyone tried this? As far as I know from cooking, coriander has 3 useful parts: 1 - the leaves 2 - the flower 3 - the seeds What part is used in brewing and how do you use it?

AdamH1525226084 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I don't know about the flowers, but the roots are also used (for curry pastes I think). I'm pretty sure it's the seeds that are used in beers. I imagine it's just like cooking. Give em a bit of a toast in the frypan to get everything going then grind it in a mortar and pestle. Check out the Julebryg recipe for an example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordEoin Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 ooh... that sounds nice. cheers adam [biggrin] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy Waters Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Like Adam said roots are great for curry pastes and also marinades etc. leaves and stem are best fresh and seeds are more of an all rounder and are best for beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanS5 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I did a wheat beer with Coriander seeds and orange zest and it is a ripper of a brew. Really enjoying it!!! Using coriander seeds is dead simple, just give them a crush in a mortar and pestle and add them to your boiling brew mix. Then put it through and sieve into your fermenter and enjoy the taste [biggrin] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordEoin Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 You read my mind, that's exactly what I was going to do. Something similar to Blue Moon or Shocktop. Have the wheatbeer kit and yeast all ready to go. kit+1kg dry wheat malt+wb06 (no dextrose, although i might cave on that) How much coriander did you use? And how did you add the orange? And how much of what part ? zest? Sorry for bombarding you with questions, I was actually going to make/find a seperate thread for the orange, but seeing as you've already done exactly what I'm planning I may aswell ask here.

LordEoin Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 bottled this today couldnt get coriander seeds, so I used ground coriander. Found on a different site that 1oz coriander seed can be replaced with a quarter teaspoon of ground coriander. Seemed a bit little so i added a bit extra. wheet beer kit 1kg dry wheat malt 300g dex (i caved) grated rinds of 2 oranges + 1/2 tsp ground coriander (boiled for 10 minutes and put through a coffee plunger) wb06 pitched at about 24C fermented warm at 22C for about 2 weeks. It smells amazing, tastes just like 'shock top' (so far). Even the trub smells good, like cloves. I'm looking forward to this one [biggrin] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy Waters Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Sounds good my Lord - but you will get a totally different flavours from fresh coriander as opposed to the seeds. Let us know how it turns out [biggrin] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
