Place Orange Peel in the pressure cooker with 1.5 gallons of water for one hour+ to increase extraction. Allow to cool and add pectic enzyme and rest overnight. On brew day dump it into pot with the peal.
Brew Day:
Heated honey to 110 so it flows better out of the container. Blend honey, first dose of yeast nutrient, tea, and water with drill. Aeration with drill for 2 minutes at high speed after mixed. Siphon and discard starter 'beer,' pitch resulting yeast slurry. Added 10-12 drops of Fermcap.
At 70% Projected FG second dose of yeast nutrient with gentle stir.
