Difficulty in cooling down. Ended up pitching at around 70degrees. The near frozen bottles of spring, froze and split so I had to buy new and freeze.
Decent bubble just not vigorous. ON racking after 8-9 days, FG was closer to 1.020. Incredibly cloudy and full of shit (tangerine rind and hops and yeasties. Difficulty siphoning. Had to clear hose and valve several times. Tried to sterilize at every point but difficult.
Racked again after another week. Added 1 tsp gelatin to 2/3 cup water. Valve was open and I lost about a beer's worth. Crap. Added another tsp to 1/2 cup and siphoned remainder. Clarity was better, no chunks but still hazy. We'll see how gelatin works. FG is now 1.015.Taste was decent with that hint of orange but I was tainted by the thought of all that went wrong...
Learnings - Freeze water bottles but watch for over freezing. Use ice bags for the cooling of the wort still in the kettle. Quick chill at all costs (or not sterilization).
