Hey guys, I currently have a nice light wit beer fermenting away, and the creator of the recipe suggests putting the two oranges used in the last 15 minutes of the boil into the fermentor with the wort.

He didn't specify how long for, I was just wondering if there's any chance of them perhaps going mouldy/off and affecting my brew?
 
Did you boil the oranges? Was it peels or actual oranges? How were the oranges prepared for their journey?

Sorry for the questions, just need a bit more info.
 
Sorry I've been away! You're going to be fine. But I wouldn't expect any type of head retention. I would also be curious about an acidic bite. Any tasting update?
