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.
