Notes

At flameout add lime zest using zester and placing in a hop spider, 3-6 key limes. Ferment at 68 - 75°F for up to two weeks as Philly Sour can take up to 14 days to convert all the sugars. Upon completion of fermentation check pH, it should be around 3.9. In the secondary add lime zest/peel soaked in vodka to taste; 6-8 key lime zest/peels to 2oz vodka (Whipped Vodka would give more vanilla flavor); shake every other day (strain before adding) Duplicate with two fresh Mexican vanilla beans; scrape inside and soak. Crash the beer to 35°F (2°C) Then bottle or keg and carbonate to approximately 2.4 volumes of CO2.
