Everything I read about using orange peel in a brew says: (Panicky voice) "Whatever you do don't get any of the orange pith in the wort, it will be bitter". Excuse me folks but do we not use hops as a bittering agent in beer? Anyway, as soon as I read that I thought why not brew a beer using the pith as a bittering agent along with a mid-level hop variety. I tasted the beer at 1 week transfer and I have to say that it is a very interesting flavor. Has anyone ever done this? and what should I expect in the finished product?
