Am about to do a Hoegaarten brew...

I have:
1.8kg can of Muntons Wheat Beer tin
Coopers BE1
15g Corriander seeds
100g of Yellow Box honey (or do I need 300g??) Recipes differ.

Do I add the entire 1kg of Wheat malt mix or leave out the BE1??

iF YOU USE HONEY, DO YOU NOT USE ANY SUGAR/bREW eNHANCER?

Do I shave a whole orange, or just a couple of teaspoons and throw it into the fermenter just before the yeast?

Then add dextrose to the bottles just before I fill them.

Appreciate feedback guys Embarassed

EDIT: Or do I need to boil like this (cut & paste from another recipe...)

4-1/2 lb light dry wheat malt extract
2 lbs orange honey
1 oz Hallertauer/N. Brewer 7.5 HBU boiling hops
1 oz Hallertauer/Hersbrucker 3 HBU finishing hops
1-1/2 oz crushed coriander
1/2 oz dried orange peel
Belgian Ale yeast (Wyeast 1214)

Bring 5 gallons of water to a boil, then add first three ingredients.
Boil 45 minutes, then add 3/4 oz. coriander. Boil 10 minutes, then add remaining coriander and orange peel.
Boil 5 minutes, and add the finishing hops for a final 2 minutes. Chill immediately to 75 F, areate into 5
gallon carboy, and add yeast. Ferment using blow-off method, then prime with 3/4 cup corn sugar and bottle.

Well, I got itchy feet & just went for it.
Hopefully it turns out ok & not too sweet.

Boiled up approx 10L of water
Add Muntons Wheat malt tin, I kg Wheat malt mix, 300g yellow box honey & 700g Coopers BE1.
Then added 2-3 tspns of crusehed coriander seeds & 3 or 4 tspns of fresh orange rind (had no dried stuff).
Boiled for 45 mins & added brita filtered water (even though melb water is ace) and temp was 40degs.
Waited til temp got down to 24degs, then pitched muntons yeast (supplied with tin).

Fingers crossed.
