Notes

No Chill- Started a yeast starter day before and pitched 1-11-14 of 1 gal starter.
SG: 1.044 FG: 1.009 ABV 6%
2-1-14 Added zest and guts minus pith of 3 blood oranges and 1/2 oz dried sweet orange peel.
2-17-14 Kegged w/ Gyle ( 1.5 qts of original wort )
Pitched in keg with slurry of Strand Brewing Harvest Ball Orange Wit to kick start Gyle Carbonation.
Great flavor and clearer than expected. Will tap in 2 weeks after keg conditioning is complete.
