First time citrus peel vodka tincture question

[rtstrider]

Hello fellow brewers! I brewed the Northern Brewer all grain tangerine pale ale a week ago and am letting it sit for another 2 weeks or so in primary before transferring to a secondary. My question is this calls for 2 oz tangerine peels soaked in 4 oz vodka for 2-3 days. This is for a 5 gallon batch. So here's my question is 2-3 days of soaking in vodka going to be long enough to make a good tincture? Some videos on youtube show soaking herbs for 3 weeks and such. Also once I move to secondary should I toss in the vodka and tangerine peels and rack on top of that?

Here is the recipe I used

Doing that brew myself right now. Great question(s). Was also wondering if anyone has tried this and if they recommend the tangerine for 1 week or 2??

I don't know about the tangerine part, but there is no reason at all to transfer it to a secondary (or to leave it in primary once fermentation is complete, which it probably is). Toss everything into your primary vessel, then rack to keg or bottling bucket.
