Notes

Approx. Final Volume: 1.5 gallons (post fermentation)

Lemongrass Alternatives:
Use any one or more of the following methods as suitable. Suspend it in the wort/beer using a grain bag or a tea/spice steeper; use more bags/steepers as needed.

  1. Lemongrass Boil (Best for Flavor)
    Add to boil pot 5-10 min before flame-out.

  2. Lemongrass Whirlpool (Good balance of Flavor & Fragrance)
    Use 25-50% more. Add to wort after flame-out (at 203 F) and let it steep in there until transfer to primary fermenter; cover with a lid (at 170) to keep the fragrance and flavors in the beer.

  3. Lemongrass Dry Hop (Best for Fragrance)
    Use 50-100% more i.e. up to 2X the amount during secondary fermentation.

    PS: Lemongrass by weight roughly based on 1-2 tea spoons per 12 oz of finished Beer.
