The Calling IPA Help!

I just noticed this: "The Calling also receives an addition of lemon peel during the last five minutes of the boil to add an extra citrusy punch."

Made another round of this...Its so awesome. This is at 16 days.

One thing I did to improve was created a water profile using RO water
1tsp of calcium per 5 gallons of water
1tsp of gypsum per 5 gallons of water
2% acidulated malt added to the grain bill

Biggest thing I notice it the aroma and flavor of the hops really pop more...and the bitterness is more rounded and not long lasting astringency
