Hey everyone,

I brewed a wheat beer and threw in ground coriander and ground tangerine peel in at flame out. Well, I'm getting a good hit of coriander but not much tangerine. I was thinking that since it's still in the fermentor that I could just add in some more tangerine into the carboy for a few days to increase it.

Would this work or would it just add to the aroma?
 
Our taste buds are pretty limited as far as detecting subtleties in flavour. A lot of what we taste comes from air passing thru our sinus as we eat or drink. A little extra zest would likely add flavour, and if not, the aroma might give the illusion anyway.
 
I would suggest you to not to add more tangerine as it will ruin its taste and let it be for few days and after that you taste and see if then you feel like adding more then you can go with it.
