Using lemon peel in secondary

[Lando420]

I bought some dehydrated lemon peel from my local brew shop and had planned on using it in my secondary. I have read a good bit about the pith being bitter and it has me a little scared to dump it all in. Right now I have it soaking in vodka and plan on leaving it for a few days before I rack to the secondary. My question is should I:
1. dump in the peel and vodka
2. just use the vodka after it soaks for a few days
3. not even bother, should have used it at flame out

It is an American wheat, I have 1oz of lemon peel in ~1-2 oz of vodka.

Here is my recipe if interested
Original Gravity (OG): 1.056 (1.059 when adjusted for 68 degree wort)
Bitterness (IBU): 30.0

1 lb milled white wheat steeped at 155 for 30 min
100% Dry Malt Extract - Wheat 6lbs (3 lbs added late, 20 Minutes (Boil))

60 Minute boil
0.5 oz Citra (12.3% Alpha) @ 40 Minutes (Boil)
0.5 oz Citra (12.3% Alpha) @ 15 Minutes (Boil)


white labs IV hefe yeast pitched at 68 degrees


Any opinions are welcome

I'd throw the whole lot in. Why not? Although typically you would at it at the end of the boil.
