Yeah...it definitely won't have an effect on the end product, though straining will help two things (in my opinion, and that's why I do it). You'll have to siphon into secondary, and that extra gunk will soak up some liquid you won't end up being able to transfer over, so your batch will be...

Even a huge amount of orange peel isn't going to give you a sour flavor like that. Well, a HUGE amount would, but going from half an ounce to a full ounce of orange peel certainly won't. If it was a standard Belgian Wit recipe, it really shouldn't be giving you that sourness at any point, and...

Yes, I was your server. Good times. You're a bunch of nice folks. I think I'm stopping in the shop in a little bit to pick up a few odds and ends.

Yes, it is, in fact, the Bavarian Lodge. Where else could it be? If you go in there, we've probably met. I've been working there for over eight years. As for the person who asked, we keep a list of our drafts here: http://www.bavarian-lodge.com/Site/Beer_List.html I hope I don't get in...

I guess an introduction is in order? I really don't know where to start in these forums, as it were. Since I google for answers to my questions about homebrewing and end up viewing this site often enough, I thought that it was only fair enough to join in on the discourse. My name is Bob...
