Thinking about brewing a double ipa with a slight orange flavor. I've heard not to use juice. I'm wondering if i can use straight orange oil instead of zesting a bunch of fruit? Anyone have a answer?
Thanks

I zested 3 oranges into my belgian white primary for about the last week, the fermentor smelled like oranges when I opened it but I'm surprised how little came through in the beer.

I used dried orange peel, and put it into my boil. Perhaps the boiling helps extract the flavor from the peel better than just putting it in your fermenter?
I would use the zest and not peels. Do that and maybe some Summit hops at flame out. I did a wheat IPA and used 2 oz of summit at flame out and I have a huge tangerine nose in this beer.
