Notes

1/18/2019: Blood orange(maybe)-raspberry American Wheat for fondy brew fest this year. Just a quick and easy probably interesting beer. For flavoring the beer, zest two blood oranges and peel if possible. Mash up a total of five blood oranges, make sure they are peeled and save the juice. Add to a bag and place in the fermenter for three days.

1/23/2019: Brew day! Cutting it close this time, brewed for the weekday club brew this month.

OG 1.047

1/31/2019: So the yeast has been taking its sweet time screwing around and fermenting this beer. It's taken over a week and there's still some foam left over even with the multiple temp increases and fermenter shakes. White Labs yeast is a no-go from here on out. There are going to be very few circumstances where I will need to use it. It just isn't worth the gamble on whether it ferments good or not. I'm an impatient person when it comes to yeasts and I've used much better! There's no reason a 1.047 beer should take over a week for ferment! I've had 1.090 beers ferment faster than that without starters! I.E. the hopslam clone was 1.084 with a packet of rehydrated US-05! It finished and started clearing within one week!

Anyway, so far the gravity is at 1.002 and it's a pretty boring wheat beer. I've added five blood oranges worth of juice and the zest of two. Will check on the flavor in a couple of days.

2/10/2019: Gravity is at 1.003, kegging and added 4ml of flavoring
