Notes

Experimental Original recipe featuring all New Zealand hops
--------------
Powdered sugar was used in place of granulated; 2 1/4cups = 1/2 lb
--------------
Primary in 5gal fermenter

Transferred to secondary at 6 days (almost 1min between bubbles)
Gravity at 1.010 - Exceeding expectations

Aroma amazingly spot on with the orange marmalade from the Pacifica and the Nelson Sauvin white wine profiles.
--------------

Fermented in small unused bathroom with very small space heater, extra space in fermenter, and plenty of WL yeast probably why we exceeded target FG already.
--------------
Update:
Bottled 2/23/16 FG 1.009 9.45% abv
I think the small part of the Nelson Sauvin came through much more intensely now, more pronounced white grape-darker fruit flavor, less citrus/orange. Will have to see how it conditions now.
Update:
many compliments from hop head friends..turned out to be a nicely balanced malty sweet fruity ipa
