I have been thinking about adding the zest of oranges, grapefruits and lemons into the secondary. Possibly even with some of the fruit as well. What do you think?
Would a larger amount of oils from citrus skins effect head retention?
I've never had head retention problems in wit beers with large amounts of citrus peels. st some point it might cause an issue but I haven't seen that happen.

What do you think?fermenting citrus fruit can be dicey. I've heard of people doing it well but mostly I've heard of horrible vomit flavors.
