Hi wrighty,

The amount of coriander looks OK to me. What weight of rind will it be? I'd aim for about the same as a starting point. You can always add more later.

I haven't brewed with coriander and peel before, but I'd suggest you would add them to the boil between 5 and 15 mins from flameout. The citrus has a lot of volatile oils that will be removed if you boil it.

Cheers,

Oliver

Pretty much how ive done it Oliver, i have done a few similar in the past
the secret was to let the rind dry on absorbent paper towel ,
as i had that problem with the oil affecting head retention.
Turn out a fair hogaarden clone one of my fave wheats. :)~
