I stumbled across this recipe a couple of months back and made a gallon of it. I had forgotten about it till I saw this thread again. I took a look at the bottle last night, and it looks like all the oranges are on the bottom of the jug now. I'll bottle and post some pics this weekend...

My apologies, This is my sample to take a gravity reading. Its still in the primary. By the reading, I am pretty close to FG, so will look to bottle in a few more days. I just thought it was odd that there was already CO2 in solution. My last batch did not have that.

Just got interested in home brewing recently and am (im)patiently waiting for my Brew Kit to arrive in the mail. I hope to make this a lifelong hobby and have been learning lots from lurking over the past couple of months. Cheers! Spencer
