Notes

Used 2lbs appx. 6-8 blood oranges. After zesting, cut orange slices into small sections and used a potato masher to juice. Then added all pieces into boil after flameout.

Strained the orange slices into mesh bag, and continued to squeeze as much juice as possible from the orange slices. With this blood orange juice, added a cup of water and the belgian candy sugar, brought mixture to a boil for 20 min. Cooled and added into fermenter.

Made and orange zest, 30gr. and added 2 oz vodka to strip the flavor. Will strain on day 2, and hold vodka mixture until bottle day.
