Notes

Honey is orange blossom honey and is added at end of primary directly to fermenter.

1/2 minerals added at mash the other half added during the boil after sparging.

Ferment at 64 then let naturally rise into mid to high 70's to finish. Add honey/fruit after the malt has mostly finished fermenting. Keep honey ferment cool then let free rise after a few days. Add oak once most of ferment is done before racking for 5 days.

Total water needed is 11 gallons. Mash strike temp is 6 gallons at 130. Sparge at 170 with the other 5 gallons Use Herms to keep mash range at 145 for 45 minutes then raise up to 155. for 45 minutes.
