I've only brewed this one time, but it's so good it will be a staple around here. I've got so many good comments from friends and family, and it's a nice refreshing drink...and low enough ABV I can have a few and not be completely drunk . I thought at first taste the orange peel might be a little much, but after 2-3 weeks of aging, it's perfect and I wouldn't change a thing.

Equipment and Brewing Notes
Converted 5 gallon Igloo cooler with Stainless Steel braid and brass ball valve. I use the batch sparge method and typically get between 70-75% efficiency. On this batch I collected almost 7.5 gallons of wort, much less grain absorbtion than I expected.
Mash Schedule
1. Mashed in with 4 gallons at 154F, mash for 60 minutes
2. Add 4 quarts of 175F for mashout
3. Vorlauf and drain
4. Add 3.5 gallons of 175F for sparge; stir and let sit for 10 minutes.
5. Vorlauf and drain.
