Notes

We ended up putting all the peels and hibiscus in at flameout. As well as .1 oz tettnanger at 10 minutes left in boil. We also got a little frisky and squeezed a quarter grapefruit, a quarter lemon, and a quarter orange in at flameout. This was an experimental batch that I made with friends and I had a lot of fun. It was their first time brewing so it was a good experience, easy and quick brew day.
