Procedure:

Note: Whole hops were preferred but inavailable, but the combination worked well. I'm sure either can be used and yield the same results.

Mash at 152F x 60 minus at 1.25 quarts per pound of grain. Sparge at 172F to achieve approximately 6.25 gallons of wort. Allow 2 weeks in primary and 2 weeks in secondary. Prime with 4oz of corn sugar for bottling. Dry hop for 3-5 days according to recipe. (I will add some Orange zest next time to bring out a more pronounced Orange flavor but great without).

I am my own worst critic, but I have to 5* his recipe as it a a true crowd pleaser. I would compare it to a Palate Wrecker as far as a rich body and bold flavor go, yet not quite as hoppy. I did this recipe with some Orange zest added on day 3 of fermentation and it really added to the already high citrus kick.
