Question about adding orange?

[Bake985]

I am brewing an American wheat this weekend and I want to add coriander and orange. Is there a difference with orange types( navel, blood orange, etc). Fresh or dried? Zest or whole peel? Cheers.

I've used the fresh zest of whatever is the most aromatic orange you can find in the grocery store and it came out great. I've seen a few people add the peel but follow the majority who believe that the white pith adds astringency/bitterness

Does anyone worry about washing off any waxes or whatever that ends up on fruit to make it look good in store? Do oranges get waxed like apples n stuff?

I use a veggie peeler to take big cuts off the orange. Then the back of a knife to scrape off the white pith.
After that a soak in vodka until im ready to use it
