Priming with Citrus (grapefruit) Syrup

[Ernie Diamond]

Anyone have any thoughts on this? Have a bug in my brain to do an Imperial Wit and I thought that the addition of grapefruit peel along with coriander is worth a shot. I wondered if adding peel at the end of boil and again at knockout could be supplemented by the use of a citrus syrup for priming.

My approach would be to make a solution of equal parts water and priming sugar (measured out to hit target volumes of CO2) and while boiling, add grapefruit zest to flavor. The infused syrup, minus the zest would be used to prime bottles. Any thoughts?

My thanks.
