This is my first designed recipe without just altering a kit from Midwest or Austin Home Brew. I brewed 12 hours ago. After 7 hours after pitching yeast, the headspace in my 6.5 gallon carboy was filled and blowing out the top of the airlock. I hurried and cut a piece of tubing, and ran it into a one gallon jug half filled with a Starsan mixture. What does anyone think of this recipe? Do you think the spices and zest were in the boil too long? Or any other recommendations would be appreciated to bring out the lemon n orange flavor!
