Notes

No Chill- Started a yeast starter day before and pitched 1-11-14 of 1 gal starter. 2-1-14 Added zest and guts of 3 blood oranges ( no pith ) 1/2 oz dried sweet orange zest. 2-17-14 Kegged with Gyle of 1.5 qts of original wort and pitched with slurry of Strand Brewing orange wit from bottle. 3-1-14 Tapped and tasted - Gyle worked great and tasted flavorful not sweet. Carbed @ 10 psi CO2. Will wait for it to chill down and enjoy.
3-3-14 - Cleared amazingly well. So good after it chilled down. Wish the weather was warmer for this bad ass beer. Had a New Belgium SnapShot wheat today and this was WAY better. 1st few pints were cloudy and bits of coriander, but none now. Gets better daily.
