The beer I attempted earlier with orange didn’t have much of an orange flavor in the end. Giving lemon a try this time, should be in time for a nice outdoor grilling time. Hopefully it turns out well.

Ingredients:

• 2.4lb Pilsner
• 4oz Cara Munich I
• 6oz Red Wheat
• 1oz hops, half at boil other half after 30 minutes
• 2 Lemons
• 12oz honey
• 2 lemons
• Belgian soasin yeast
• pinch of Irish moss

Estimated OG; 1.115

Final gravity: 1.020; 12.47%ABV

Brewed:3/30/14 Bottled:5/14/14

Steeped grains at 150~2 for 45 minutes. Put grains into strainer and poured 2 cups of boiling water over them, let the water filter through the grains and dumped the additional water to the pot of wort. Brought to a boil and added half of the hops, boiled for 30 minutes. While it was boiling I shredded the lemon peal, then pealed the lemon like an orange set tossed rind. After the 30 minutes was up I added the moss, hops, lemon, squeezing the sections of lemon before dropping them into the pot. Boiled the last 15 minutes, cooled to 70F, put into the jug, pitched the yeast and set downstairs for fermenting.
