Agree. Not sure why I did not think of S-189.

You could also soak them in vodka and add enough of the extract to your taste.

Good idea.
So what would be the best yeast? W-34/70? Wyeast 2206, Bavarian Lager?
A recipe suggests Curaçao Orange Peel. Can’t regular orange peel be used, from a Florida or a Texas orange?

I thought of the yeast also. 34/70 or Diamond seem too clean. Maybe 2206 or WLP 833 to accentuate the maltiness, more Bock-ish?

I'm pretty sure the SA yeast is 2124 (or at least their house strain is derived from it)

In the old days I thought I heard that SA's house lager yeast was 2206 or an equivalent.

When started brewing tried orange peel, homemade vanilla extract,
crushed & lightly toasted coriander seeds, etc.
Now only focus on grain, hops, yeast, and procedures.
Was getting way ahead of myself, wasn't ready for fancy additions.

In my opinion dried orange peel is the way to go.
If you use fresh orange peels, avoid the white pithy part.
I only tried this https://www.amazon.com/Frontier-Orange-Organic-Granules-Ounce/dp/B000UYFLL4/ref=sr_1_14?dchild=1&keywords=dried+orange+peel&qid=1607968923&sr=8-14

I remember each year waiting for Sam Adams Winter to come out, really liked it.
I'm now self sustained, haven't bought beer for over a year.

Welcome
According to this article, saigon cinnamon is used.

Saigon cinnamon is spicy, somewhat like red hots tasted like as a child.
The cinnamon in your home is probably the indonesian cassia variety, which is milder.

Next brew will give saigon cinnamon, bitter orange peel, and ginger a try.
Using small amounts, very subtle is the goal.  Don't want cinnamon, ginger or bitter orange barking at me.
Will boil last 5-10 minutes, to ensure anything trying to hitch a ride is killed.
I no longer dry hop, or open fermenter for any reason, other than to bottle.
