Wheat beer recipe help

[kd7enm]

The next beer I'm wanting to brew is a wheat beer. I love Hefe! I would like it to have a little citrus flavor. The hops that it calls for is Northern brewer or Perle. Should I change the hops to something else, or should I just add some lemon zest / lemon peel?

Thanks for the help!

If you like citrusy hops then yeah, use what you like. I like american citrusy hops so the wheat I am going to be doing shortly is using Centennial, cascade and citra. You can add lemon/lime/orange zest as well if you want.

Thanks for the help guys. I think I'll talk to the guy at the HBS about which hops they have in stock that will give a citrus flavor. I might also zest a few lemons.
