Awesome aroma

I brewed this this weeks and everything went very well. I used a decoction mash to simulate Ommegang's process. Grains were substituted for the Weyerman's closest match. Fuggle was used instead of Styrian Goldings. Any modifications should have little impact on the finished product. Orange peel must not weight much, I used the skin of two oranges and had no registration of weight on my scale. It will be interesting to see if I used too much or too little. Pre-fermentation the aroma was spot on so I am thinking two small oranges is the way to go.
