Brewed a beer using some Pils & Wheat malt I had at home and threw in some Orange Zest at Flameout. Used Magnum @60 for bittering. Yeast used was Dry Munton's Premium Ale yeast which started off vigorously but has slowed down since Day 2. I am brewing a 1 Gallon batch.

Can I dry hop with some more Zest? How do you sanitize it? Don't have vodka at home and alcohol shops are shut now due to Covid. I do have Iodophor though.

Also, anybody recommend using Nelson Sauvin for dry hopping? Maybe along with the Orange Zest? I have never used these hops, so wonder how that would affect the taste & aroma of this beer.

Going for something like a Citrusy Pale Ale. It has been 5 & a half days into fermentation right now and it is still going slowly (one air bubble per 15-20 seconds on the airlock).

Would love some suggestions please. Thanks.
