So I did loveofrose jao bomm 5 gal. FG was 1.124 I ended adding .020 gravity of honey during the middle of fermentation. It ended up fermenting out to 1.004. I added another .020 of honey and it hasn't fermented that. I also just cut up the whole orange and stuck peel and all in. After about 5-6 weeks of aging and two vanilla beans in secondary, keep in mind this is a bomm, it has a very bitter taste and alcohol bite, does not taste highly of orange just a hint. The vanilla beans helped the bitterness but only so much. Any suggestions? Should I just keep letting it age? Should I add more vanilla beans? I've been thinking about adding some fresh squeezed oj, maybe the sweetness and flavor of oj will mellow out the bitterness? In loveofrose recipe I believe he ended up with a fg of 1.038
