What would this make as far as type of beer?

Sounds fun and very different. When are you going to finally put fire to kettle on this one?

I just brewed this yesterday finally, upped the orange peel spice to 2 tblsp at the 60 min mark. One just didn't seem enough

The starting gravity came out around 1.040, the PB gravity was 1.030. I'm not 100% sure on the starting gravity since some of the beer came out of my hyrdrometer jar, so my hyrdrometer was hitting the bottom, oh well. Put this whole thing in my MR Beer fermenter and pitched the ale yeast I made a starter from, and it's pretty full and going crazy right now. I actually had to dump about a pint or so of wort, this was getting too full. They only recomment 2 1/2 gallons in one of these, I went well over that

I've never had a blow out with the mr beer(only made 3 batches with it though), so we'll see what happens. I'll check the gravity in 3 or 4 days. If it does start spewing out of the lid, not sure what i'll do, maybe just let it keep doing that? I have this in the batchtub in the basement.

I'd love to hear an update on how this turned (is turning) out, and if you've had a chance to sample it at any point along the way. This one has been on my mind lately

It did not taste well at all. Ended up dumping the batch. May have been better with a few hops in it.

Well that's a bummer. I had some hopes that you'd come out with something decent or at least drinkable. If nothing else, at least you can say you tried it and it sucked
