Notes

So here is what I did:
Boil Cider, Honey, Cinnamon Sticks, and cloves for 60 minutes. At 15 minutes before end of boil add orange peel.

Be sure to rehydrate yeast (Lalvin ICV D47 is a freeze dried wine yeast). Also, aerate your wort VERY well before pitching the yeast and 2-3 times per day before the first sugar break. I use a wort aeration system (pure O2 injection using an oxygen stone), so I aerated for about 1 minute pre-pitch, then about 30-45 seconds a day.
