  So you would prime as normal and then just add in the lemon juice instead of using a store
  bought bottled lemonade?

  I'm going to be bottling my first shandy attempt tonight. It calls for a 1/2 gallon of lemonade
  to be added at the time of bottling (for a 5 gallon batch). I'm wondering if that will be
  enough sugar t...

  Thanks, guys. I have heating pads for both buckets and when I checked last night, they are
  working, so the temperature for fermentation should be right on. When I go to close the
  buckets, I hit the li...

  bottle? And by cold crash after priming, I assume you mean bottle it and then stick it
  immediately in the f...

  What's the best way to accomplish this? From what I've read, artificial sweeteners may create
  an off-taste in the end even though it won't ferment while fermenting sweeteners could burst
  bottles. Any ...

  If I try it, I think I'd go with bell's third option or follow along with mark's post. Right
  now, I can't wrap my head around a two year period from brew day to drinking, but I still think
  it's worth ...
