I've only brewed a few batches of belgians therefore my knoledge for substitutions is limited. I am having a difficult time finding sweet orange peel. Would this be found in a health food store or can I just dry some orange peels?

You can buy dried orange peel at most supermarkets in the spice section, or of course at a natural foods grocery. Or you can grate the rind of a regular fresh orange. Use only the orange outer portion; the white inner pith causes a ham-like flavor. |

Use the pith if you're making Belgian Meat Beer, and not Belgian Wheat Beer |

If you can, use bitter orange peel from curacao oranges. My last Witbeer turned out crappy, too much of a citrusy taste. IMO bitter orange peel adds a nice bitterness if you keep your hop IBUs low enough. |

Don't go pithing in your beer. |
