I added lemon zest to my most recent brew. I added the zest of 3 lemons to it with 5 min to the end of the boil. I find the flavor comes through a little bitter in the end. I think maybe zest in secondary may provide a fresher flavor. But I have yet to do that. I would be interested to see if...

I just finished my first keg today. Took me totally by surprise. I thought I had at least a growlers worth in there. I guess I underestimated my beer consumption. But at least the keg is now empty for my stout.
I just finished a keg of APA that I dry hoped with Citra ( .5oz in 5 gal). The citrus aroma and flavor was great. I'm pretty sure I used chinook for bittering and flavoring in the boil.
