Each sip delivers a burst of citrusy brightness, perfectly balanced by a smooth, creamy texture. Perfect for those sunny days or any occasion that calls for a taste of California's laid-back charm.

In a large brew kettle, combine the pale malt and wheat malt with 4 liters of water. Heat to 152°F (67°C) and hold that temperature for 60 minutes.

Mash the Grains

After mashing, sparge the grains with hot water to collect about 6 liters of wort. Bring the wort to a boil and add the hops. Boil for 60 minutes.

Sparge and Boil

During the last 10 minutes of the boil, add the blood orange zest and blood orange juice to the wort.

Add Blood Orange Ingredients

Cool the wort quickly to about 70°F (21°C) using a wort chiller. Transfer to a fermentation vessel and pitch the yeast. Seal and let it ferment for 1-2 weeks.

Cool and Ferment

Once fermentation is complete, dissolve the priming sugar in a small amount of water, add it to the beer, and bottle it. Let the bottles condition for 1-2 weeks.

Bottle the Beer

Chill the bottles and enjoy your homemade CALI SQUEEZE BLOOD ORANGE HEFE!
