brewed first saison. used wlp565 and finished off with wyeast 3711. only been about a week in keg, but im noticing an astringent flavor ive never picked up before, somewhat medicinal. the only thing i can think of is i used 1/2 oz of bitter orange peel at 5min left boil. when i racked to primary i couldnt filter out the orange peel, so in it all went with primary fermentation. was this bad the orange peel was in through fermentation (22 days)? anyone notice off-flavor from this? maybe just needs more time in keg? usually all my beers are drinkable at about 1 week in keg, turn much better at few weeks. not sure if this needs more time, im not familiar with saison yeast.
