I think I'll do it at 10 the next time, as well. Not sure if it is wise to put it in any earlier. Good stuff. Hopefully it turns out how you're thing. Good luck!

Have you brewed this recipe before? I was trying for something a bit more balanced that had a pronounced orange/citrus flavor but missed the mark. For something like a Witbier is it usually a good idea to lower the boil to around 45 minutes? Have you ever tried putting it in at a different...

Ah, I must have my thought process backwards. I'll try the 60min addition instead. Still think the orange peel at 1oz at 10min?

I agree. I was afraid adding a full ounce of orange peel was going to be too strong but I can't even taste it because the hops are so....present. They're not overwhelming, though. Probably one of the smoother "IPAs" that I've had. If I do it again I'm thinking of cutting the hops down to half...

Oh, cool, I'll give that a shot. Didn't know if I was going to have to try splitting the batch and dry hopping one and leaving the other alone. Thanks everyone for your input!

I've had good results from placing my carboy/fermenting bucket on a cushion or pillow and vigorously rocking it for up to five minutes. Prior to this I make sure that my hands are clean and sanitized. Every 30-40 seconds I move my hand from the mouth of the carboy to let in air. It's worked...
