Lime Wheat Brew Session

Brew Session Info

9/8/2022
(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

Smooth brew day, solid mash temps, and a nice very light-yellow beer, I added the zest of 5 limes and the last charge of hops at 5 minutes left in the boil, I made about 2 quarts of limeade with a touch of honey with the limes and zested 3 more limes and put in vodka to make a lime zest extract. I'll add the limeade on day 3 or so of fermentation and the extract at bottling time. Bottled on 09/23 for Brewtoberfest Oct 8th. Ended up with 59 bottles of appropriately hazy wheat beer. Tasted nice, got the lime from both the zest and the juice. I'll update when I've tasted it carbonated and cold.
