I searched around a bit and didn't quite get the info I was looking for.
I am working on a recipe for a session saison (1.04 OG) and was planning on adding 2oz of lemon zest at the end of the boil. My question is how much acid bite will I get from the lemon zest or will it mostly be aroma? I was considering adding a bit of acid malt to help with the bite. A hint of lemon and a good bite is what I'm going for as I want this to be a summer beer
I don't have much experience with additions like this. Does it work like hops where earlier additions provide less aroma and later are vise versa?
