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: Mash start temp 175 for 1 hour, Sparge at 180. Run 1 gallon before Sparge and slowly readd first runnings to mash grain bed. Slowly add Sparge water evenly to grain bed. Keep waterlevel below grain bed top. After your kettle is filled to 7 gallons for 6 gallon batch or 6 gallons for 5 gallon batch start your final boil and add hops accordingly. Great great beer. I plan on brewing more than once. Probably my favorite so far.

Notes: Pitch at 68F until the beer reaches 50% attenuation, then allow the temp to rise freely. Total fermentation time is about 80-90 hours. Add dry hops while the beer is still warm at the end of fermentation. Rouse hops with CO2 every other day for 15 minutes. After 5 days crash cool to 30F over 48-72 hours. Hold another 7 days while continuing to rouse with CO2 until day 13. Bottle/Keg on day 14.

Notes: My efficiency has been a little low, probably closer to 65%, so i'd suggest cutting down on the grain bill slightly. We ended up with an OG of 1.045 and FG of 1.010. Haven't had a chance to try one yet, everything went well on brew day, we're expecting this one to be an easy drinking summer beer.
