I have a wheat beer in the LBK, it has a few more days before bottling. When would adding another 1/2oz of Sweetened Orange peel be a good idea?

I'll need to go to BS to see what we did with orange peel in a Saison but for reference did you add any early in your brewing and this is a second addition? If so how much did you add?

FWIW we got a bit of OP bitterness so that is why I ask but will see where our additions were. Oh what kind of orange peel did you use?

I used sweeten orange peel. Added 1/2 oz into the fermentor when adding the wort. I did a taste test and got some bitterness. I am hoping adding another 1/2oz before bottling may help cut some bitter and add some orange flavor.

My eyes must be going bad. I thought the name of this thread was "Orange Pee!" I thought I might learn something about some unknown - to me - medical condition.

Ours was a half ounce at T10 with none in fermenter.
It was a Saison and we planned this one to be ready around Christmas so the first taste was a bit early.
If I understand correctly "sweet" orange peel refers to the type of orange vs. a "bitter" orange.

Mashani or someone might know more about this but I don't think you will get sweetness as in sugars just an orange flavor from the oils.

I think someone made a brew and added orange juice as well as peel (Monsteroyd ??)

No no no no......not pee

1 oz sweet Orange peal @ 10 minutes was WAY TOO MUCH in Wheat I made mid summer. 1/2 oz @ 5 minutes in a Saison was ok.
II've found out i much prefer bitter Orange peel in Wheat and even lagers

I use both sweet & bitter. When adding post primary I make a tea and/or a feeding solution depending on recipe

I am cold crashing for a few days. So I figured this was a good time to add it.
