Suspect De-weiss

[MPLMPL]

This is officially my final extract brew as I've yet to put in my grain order before moving over to the darkside. I had 3 kg of wheat DME to use up, so went for a straightforward weissbier. It's a suspect de-weiss because I have plans for it once fermentation has slowed down a bit. I'm planning on bottling half as a standard weissbier and committing sacrilege with ~10L. The plan is to add some to a demijohn containing some berries, something from the freezer from last years crops from the garden, probably tayberries, perhaps blackberries or blackcurrants (this is probably very very wrong). Another demijohn will contain some fresh kaffir lime leaves - not sure on quantities here, so any advice welcome, particularly if anyone has experience of using fresh lime leaves.

Ended up with 21-22L in the fermenter at SG 1.050.
Cheers

Pitched the yeast at 11pm last night; this morning it's off like a rocket. Got downstairs to a blocked airlock and a massively bulging lid on the fermenting bin. I spent most of yesterday with 'suspect device' as an earworm "inflammable material is planted in my head...". Jake Burns was clearly prophetic, as I went to remove the airlock and release the pressure, I got a huge spray of beer and gunk in my face. The closing lines to the song? "We're gonna blow up in their face"... Oh the irony.
