Notes

After protein rest raise mash temp to sacc temp over 15 minutes, then hold for 30 minutes and check to see if full conversion.

use no more than 2 ounces of the zest in equal parts. (2/3 ounce for each fruit type)

Once fermentation slows raise temp over a day to 72 and hold until fermentation has completed.
