Brewers Notes:

Boil 90 min. Skim the kettle during the firt 30 min. Add 2 tsp of irish moss at 20 min.

Add 1/2 oz. of bitter Curacao orange peel at 15 min. Add 1/2 oz. of sweet orange peel at 15 min. Add 1/2 oz. of crushed coriander at 5 min. Add 1 tsp. of crushed cardamom and 1/4 oz. of crushed coriander at 0 min.

Dual yeasting is critical for this beer. Watch the activity of the 3944 in the primary and transfer to the secondary with a fresh starter of 3787 when the activity slows.

Prime with 1 cup of dextrose. Adding some fresh 3787 is a good idea. Give it several months to mellow and age. The flavor evolves with time.

Note - 1.076 is the target gravity. Leave out the cardamom if you don't like it or if you really want to make a Celis Clone. However, I am the Spice Bitch!
