Notes: Brewed in honor of the true light of my life, my incredible bride. Thank you for supporting my brewing obsession! I love ya baby!
Tasting notes:
Ok, so the beer is all carbed up and Chilled. I ended up using the zest and juice of 6 limes after reading this - > https://byo.com/stories/issue/item/1589-what-is-the-best-way-to-add-a-citrus-fruit-flavor-to-your-beer the BYO article that said to use 10 limes for a 5 gallon batch. This was a mistake.
First of all the beer is WAY too limey. I was hoping for "*beer with a hint of lime*" and ended up with "*lime flavor with a hint of beer*."
If I did it again, I'd go with the zest and juice of 3 *MAYBE* 4 limes if they're small.
Second of all the 1/2 lb of crystal 20 in the recipe is too much. I was going for just a slight hint of Malt character to balance the lime but it ended up being close to the color of an IPA! Not to mention that it's not as crisp as I was hoping for.
Using the WLP001 was one thing that definitely was the right choice. Because of the crazy active fermentation, it finished with 6.69%ABV and the higher alcohol at least helps cut at least a little of the residual Malt character, without tasting hot or phenolic. Such a great yeast.
If I were to brew this again, I'd probably just leave out all the crystal and go with a straight 50/50 - two row/wheat malt grain bill and only add the juice and zest of 3 limes at kegging.

Notes: 4oz of hibiscus for 10 gallons may have been a bit heavy. The hibiscus I used provided a distinctly tart lemon flavor with the more subtle strawberry. If you like spurs, you may want to keep. If you're shooting for more of a strawberry flavor back off the hibiscus by half (2 oz)
Great brew, will brew again.

Notes: This is an easy recipe to make a solid wort for a Gueuze/Lambic wort. The fun is to brew this every year. The Belgian sour mix from White Labs will do a good job getting the flavors For the style picked. Each home brewers home will create its own "house character". Once you add this to your brewing schedule you will look forward to brewing this beer every year.
A fifteenth minute boil is all you need to sanitize the wort and get some IBU's into the wort. It is the aging the beer that will challenge you!
Maltodextrin will be food for the bugs after the fermentable sugars are gone.

* The golden syrup definitely adds a butterscotch/caramel flavor.
Stir syrup into hot water before adding to BK at 10 minutes
Yeast Options:
- WYeast 1968 London ESB
- White Labs WLP013 London Ale
- Fermentis S04
- Lallemand London ESB
- Imperial Yeast A09 Pub (on BF meeting Josh said he heard this is what Fullers uses)
Water: Target sulfate:Chloride ratio of 2:1
Note from April 2021 session suggests a 3:1 ratio for more hop bitterness.
