Lemon and Lime Beer

[Flying_Fox]

So going back a few years I had Lemon and Line Beer in Germany which was great. A few years later Becks brought it to the UK but it didn’t last long because I guess people weren’t buying it

I was wondering how I’d go about recreating that in terms of home brewing. If I waited until
my Beer was done and then adding in a load of Lemon and Lime Cordial? Any advice would be appreciated

Something like Biermuncher's Centennial Blonde as a base beer, with lemon and lime peel added to some vodka to make a tincture, might work.

Lemon and lime zest in the last 5 minutes of the boil. Or brew a beer using Lemon Drop and Wai-iti hops.

I've had really good results from "dry-hopping" with the zest from 2 lemons and 2 limes for 5 days. Was really surprised at how much flavour this imparted.

Wee bump here, any concerns about the sanitation of zest for use in the FV steve or just throw straight in? Considering making a lemon and lime lager for the summer

No I just dry hopped my Saison with lemon peel. If your really concerned make a hot tea. Steep the peel add both the tea and peel

I brew a lemon-rosemary blonde ale that's pretty good. I put the lemon zest in to steep after turning off the heat.

Lovely cheers. I have grain and herkules hops for a lager already. Just ordered 25g of lemon drop for flameout and will use peel in the FV to make a nice refreshing summer lager hopefully

I'm just fermenting a Lemon and Lime Saison which uses dried Lemon Peel and Dried Limes in the boil and then Lemongrass and Kaffir Lime Leaves in the fermenter.

Lemon zest, Wai-Iti hops also have been used siccessfully in the past to impart L & L falvours

How much rosemary did you use. I used 5g at flameout. It's very strong, I am waiting for it to mellow

Not sure in grams but half a teaspoon in a three gallon batch.
