Bitter Orange Peel Substitute?

[Andrew Clark]

Hi
Does anybody know of a substitute for bitter orange peel for wit beer. We have no asian supermarkets in Bundaberg and I can't get it from anywhere else. Can I use something else. I am really desperate as I tried my first Hoegaarden last week and want my own keg full can anyone please help.
Regards
Andrew

I seem to remember someone posting directions for making it in the oven. Do a few searches on this forum and also on grumpys at...

...and something might turn up.

You can also just use freshly grated (navel) orange rind.

:EDIT: As I notice JM has pointed out in the "Newbie Here" thread :EDIT:

With an ambitious clone attempt like Hoegaarden Wit, you'd want to maybe make a few small test batches? 10 litres of utter failure is a lot less painful than 23l
