  Adding orange peel and coriander to secondary may not give a lot of flavor or aroma as it would
  like adding it to then end of your boil. If you go that way, you can just throw in the orange
  peel if it...

  +1 to the additional fermentation.... rack it back into a carboy and throw some lacto bugs (or
  brett) in it and leave it alone for a year! Sour oatmeal stout... sounds interesting doesn't

  Sounds like you pretty much got it figured out, but I wanted to offer a tip that I practice.I
  don't really use exact calculations when I sparge/lauter as I have a 10 gal MLT cooler and use
  as much spa...

  I've dry hopped for a month or so and never had any strange tastes.+1 to the racking into
