Notes

Number of zests: 11

Grapefruit: 1
Minneola Oranges: 3
Salustiana Oranges: 6
Lemons: 1
Limes: 0

Supposed to be 94 grams of zest but had 68

Supposed to be 18 g of coriander but had 14

2nd hop is supposed to be at 30 min, but the alpha was 2 units higher.

OG: 1.052 of 6.25 gal. I think I screwed up the grind for the pilsner malt.
