This recipe was based around the ingredients we had left over from other brews and what I could find on Brewtoad. In this case I found American Style Spiced Wheat which fitted what we had left over.
The recipe I ended up with was:
Wheat Malt - 577g
Honey - 165g
Caramel Malt - 41g
Pale Wheat Malt - 21g
Zest of 1 Orange
1/2 Wheat Yeast sachet
The brew is using honey to provide the extra sugar. On brewing this I thought it was a little on the weak side so I did a little extra sparging.

Racked it to secondary. There isn't as much of the brew as I would like so added 1/2 teaspoon of sugar to the demijohn to get a little extra C02 to push any air out. Swirling the brew around also appeared to have the same effect. In hindsight, the extra ferment (albeit slight) was not necessary and only served to leave a tiny amount of sediment floating in the brew.

Bottled into 9 275/330ml bottles. From a brief sample I managed to try it was a very promising taste. Strongly orange, wheat beer flavours. A slightly stronger than usual alcoholic punch as well.
