Thanks for the info. Did you follow the exact proportions in the recipe or use a different amount of honey? Can you taste the orange? And lastly, do you happen to know your OG or FG?

hmm, any input on the above post I made last week? Should I rack it into a secondary for some bulk aging or leave it alone to clear more? I am just wondering because it has been past the 3 month mark.

Did you take any gravity readings with a hydrometer? That would be one way to tell if your fermentation stopped early or finished fermenting all of the sugar. Since you say it has been over two...
