Lemon dream clone attempt

[Subtle Duck]

Hi all,
Don't know if this has been done by anyone on the forum but I'm planning to try and get a brew close to salopian lemon dream.
Looking at descriptions it's an English wheat beer hopped with cascade, saaz, goldings and organic lemon.

This is the recipe so far.
Og: 1.045 Fg: 1.010 4.6% ibu: 31.6
Mash @ 64°c
yeast: m36 liberty bell
Malt
3kg pale maris otter
1kg wheat malt

Hops
60 min 9g cascade (11ibu)
9g goldings (7ibu)
30 min 9g saaz (3.9 ibu)
12g goldings (6.6 ibu)
5 min 12g saaz (1.3ibu)
12g goldings (1.7 ibu)
2 min zest of 1 lemon

Does any one think this'll work or any amendments that are glaringly obvious?

Went ahead with this today. Slight changes to the recipe:
Dropped the 60min goldings addition in favour of 25g cascade and 20g dried lemon peel at flame out.
Also added 200g of flaked wheat as it needed using up.
I've had to a no chill brew due to unforseen circumstances, will keep you updated as to how it goes.

Pitched this morning with m36. Og slightly higher than expected at 1.050, but is smelling amazing

Reckon that will be lovely on a warm spring day

Have many fond summer memories of sitting in my local beer garden after work supping a few of these. Those were the days. Seems like an age ago

Keep me updated on this. Sounds lovely. What about your doppelbock recipe, did you post it. I plan one in my next brew

 

[Subtle Duck]

I can post it, still carbing up at the moment then 6 weeks lagering in the bottle. But from the cheeky sample, it's coming along nicely. Probably should set up a brew day thread to keep everything together.

Please keep this updated @Subtle Duck .
Love Lemon Dream and lots of the other Salopian brews. Never tried making this one though.

Not a beer I’ve come across but sounds pleasant.

It's really worth finding. Is an absolute staple on the pumps around the village I work in. Maybe not at the moment, but definitely when things were open

Quick update, m36 is a beast. Airlock has almost stopped gurgling (sample sg:1.014) smells absolutely amazing. Have decided to dry hop with 30g of cascade, will give it 4/5 days then cold crash outside in this lovely weather.

How did this turn out? Pretty keen to try this style meself so any further hints & tips appreciated.

 

[Subtle Duck]

It worked out pretty well apart from the dried lemon peel. When I brew it next time I'd definitely sub it for (unwaxed) lemon peel as I feel it didn't have the freshness that lemon dream has. Have brewed a lemon salmon with fresh and it definitely had more zing than dried peel. Probably go for the zest of 2 lemons at flame out.

 

[Subtle Duck]

Sorry, when I say salmon I mean saison. Bloody auto correct. But lemon salmon is pretty tasty

Cheers duck, yes defo a big difference between yer sicilian lemon and the one in asda - thanks for this, gonna give it a go brew after next. Saison certainly appeals too but a bit outside my comfort zone as a home brewer at present. I'll try to remember to post any lemon dream learnings here (or elsewhere in the forum) - future generations deserve lemony goodness.
