3/12/2023 2:31 PM about 1 year ago	+140	Tasting Note				3/12/2023 2:31 PM about 1 year ago	The base beer is there, maybe needs a bit of caramel. Get rid of the other spices and just go with coriander and orange peel, make it a little more pronounced. Go with omegang yeast or substitute. Just make sure attenuation stays at around 80%.

Notes

Add Candi Sugar at start of boil.
Pitch one pack of yeast at 65° and free rise to 68°.
Ferment 3 weeks at 68°
When fermentation completes, lower temp to 50° and hold 2 weeks until beer clears.
