First Witbier

[mdawson9]

Hi guys,
Brewed my first witbier yesterday. With 5 minutes left I dumped in bitter orange peel, coriander and some chamomile. I wasn't sure whether to leave it in the fermenter or not. I ended up pouring it through my funnel and strainer. What's the common practice out there? Leave that stuff in and strain out???
Thanks!

Strain it out, especially the coriander. You don't want to let the ingredients sit in the beer for too long or it will overpower it. The easiest thing to do is put ingredients in a hop bag and pull the bag out of the boil at the end.
