I use lemon zest. I put the zest of two large lemons and 1/3 teaspoon of rosemary (in a small hop bag) in the wort right after the boil and let it steep 15 minutes or so; three gallon batch and I don't usually add the juice.

I've got a bitter kit on the go at the moment, just done 3 weeks in the FV. I made a tea of cloves, hot chillies and juniper berries. I was a bit wary of not overdoing it, so that's why I made a tea, rather than chucking it all in. On reflection, maybe I was over-cautious.
Sampled, and the missus could detect glace cherries, but that's about it. :whistle:
