Re: Fresh Orange Zest and Chamomile in Belgian Wit?



chamomile works great in a Wit, but it is not chamomille tea, it is dried
flowers.
I use 1/10 ounce of dried chamomile flowers, 1/5 ounce dried bitter orange
peel, and 3/4 ounce of coriander in 5gallons
If you can get pickled bitter orange peel it is better

I'm planning on brewing my first wit tomorrow and I'm a little confused
on whether or not to use fresh orange zest, dried bitter orange peel,
or a combination of both. If you use fresh zest (or a combination), how
much should go into a 10 gallon batch. Also, I've read about the
addition of chamomile and would like to know if I should use chamomile
tea or some other form and how much. Thanks in advance.
