Anyone know approx how may limes it will takes to produce 2oz of lime zest? 6-8? Brewing a homemade recipe and want to add 2oz of fresh lime zest at end of the boil.

Looks like a lime will produce 3/4 tbsp. Not sure what the density is though. If you figure it out let us know.

It was good. It wouldnt hurt to add more. Flavor died out in the last couple of beers.
