I just brewed a whit using regular orange peel. I bought an orange
peeled it. Fed the orange to the wife and chopped up all the peel.
I threw the peel in with 5 minutes left in the boil. I have to say
that my whit is one of my favorite beers ever, but it may not be to
style. Never having tried a real whit because I can't find one in my
area I can't say it tastes like a whit, but it sure is a very
refreshing ale on a hot summer day.
