What are some of the final abvs you guys are getting with the clone when its done. 5.5 + % would be nice.

Do you need to do a yeast starter with this recipie?

Brewed this today! Hated messing with the recipe but I wound up not adding the corn sugar. Needed a lower ABV for SWMBO. Anyone think this will change the beer a lot?

Make your own! Take an orange and lemon, grate off the peel (don't get the white pith), put them on wax paper and dry them overnight. Store them in a container in the refrigerator until you're ready to brew with them. It's actually a lot cheaper. I do this with grapefruit peel for my IPAs.

Ok so I made this as my first brew ever and am superexcited. Cooked up a 5 gallon batch exactly 2 weeks ago, and am now ready to bottle (I think), so I have some questions:

- How do I know the beer is ready to be bottled and the initial fermentation process is complete? I read that I should measure the density two days in a row, and if it is the same it's ready? Also, what density should I be aiming for?

- I assume I do not need a secondary fermentation in another vessel? what would be the pro's and cons? If I need one, how long?

- how much sugar should I add to get the bottle fermentation started for a 5 gallon batch? Will any sugar do?

- At what temperature should I store the bottles? and for how long? I read that once they are carbonized sufficiently I should move them to the fridge to stop further carbonization?

- How long should I wait before trying my first beer after bottling? 1 week? 2 weeks? More? I assume that if I crack one open (after putting it in the fridge for 24 hours) and I like the amount of carbonisation, I should add the rest of the bottles to the fridge as well? (and vice versa: when not carbonized enough, try again after a few days?)

Thanks in advance for all the info!

We tried this over the weekend and it is turning out well. Instead of lemon peel in the can, we zested about 8 lemons and used that instead. It seems to have done the trick.

I had a question, what is the target ABV? I want to know if we end up anywhere close to it. You know, for posterity.
