Dandelion Wine pt II

Today I did these steps:

Poured mixture back into pot, brought to a boil.

Added the peelings (I used a zester) of three tangelos (the recipe calls for 4 oranges).

Boiled mixture for 10 minutes, then strained through a cloth back into the bucket (I rinsed it out good first).

Let mixture cool.

Activated the yeast by following instructions on packet (I used Lalvin K1-V1116), then poured the yeast and the juice of the tangelos into the mixture, then poured the whole thing into a carboy and fit the widget in the top and put the carboy more or less out of the way. I need a better place for it.

So is it OK to substitute tangelos for oranges? Is it ok to have the citrus pulp in the mixture? Was the mixture the right color? Am I using the right yeast? Did I make a fatal error because I didn't follow the instructions exactly because I have a "problem with authority?" These questions and more will be answered in six months to a year.
