Notes

Standard wit - with zest of 2 oranges and 1 lemon and 1/2 oz corriander.

1/2 the batch was fermented normally with 1 oz dry hop galaxy.

1/2 the batch was fermented to make a fruit sour. Batch was left near 100 degrees when cooling. Added Wyeast Lacto mix for 72 hours. After this, white labs brett was added with 5 lbs of fresh cranberries. Left to age in bottle for 4 months. Bottle aging since.
