I'd love to keg, but not ready to spend the money all at once. Plus this beer is for a week at the Beach, to go aong with Kolsch and Cream Ale. Wanted to make a stronger beer for the evening, so I went with this knowing it was going to be cutting it REAL close. Bottling is the best way for this...

So after brewing this beer 1/4 oz lime peel last 15 min of boil, another 1/4 oz lime peel in secondary along with zest from 4 limes here's how it turned out. I let it ferment for about a 1 week, and secondary for 2. After bottling and it sat for about 2 weeks it tasted a lot like peel, pretty...

So I brewed a Belgian Triple (Brewers Best, no LME) on Wednesday June 20. I needit ready by July 21. (I know this is early but it still needs to be ready to go the best possible way) I'm trying to figure the best way to divide primary and secondary. (Using secondary for sure) Should I go 1 1/2...

Cream Ales are good for what you're looking for. That's next up for me for a week at the beach in the summer. I'm also doing a Kolsch right now, and while it's the first one i've done, from what I hear they are great hot day brews also. :mug:

Thanks for your responses...that really helps.

I have a Kolsch that I just racked to a secondary and decided to cold crash. Now after reading some more posts on this I am having second thoughts on whether or not it was a good thing to do. I'm worried that when I go to bottle it won't carb well enough. Should I just CC it for a few days and...

Nice idea. I brewed it today. Recipe on page #1. What I did was throw 1/4 oz of dried lime peel with 15 minutes left and threw another 1/4 in with 5 minutes left. I'm going to use lime zest for the secondary, i'd try the lemon, but my wife only really likes the lime taste, so i'm not sure if...

I like that idea, only thing is I bottle, and i'm sure no pro at trying to figure between that and the priming sugar, so i'm a bit hesitant to try anything like that at bottling time. :o

Thanks for the input. Well after what seems like a long back and forth journey to make a beer that my wife wants, I'm going to brew today. I've decided to go with some dried lime peel in the boil and zest in the secondary. This may or may not turn out good at all, but after putting together...

That's pretty interesting. Never would've thought of that. I think the main thing to get is not only the lime taste, but more the sweet lime taste. Maybe the leaves bring that out? How close to BLL does it get? I'm not looking for the exact replica but something similar, and since its...

Still up in the air about this one. Really need the more candy lime taste than just pure lime. Anymore input would be great with the ingredients I have so far. A little worried if I used a sweetened lime juice or marmalade (which I think would bring about the flavor im looking for) in the latter...

Cheezydemon3 I appreciate your input, I really do, but I'm not looking for a Corona. I know it can be done pre limed. Making this work for my wife the way she wants it is what I'm after. it may not be conventional, but after all isn't this what its all about. Finding new ways to do things...

Thanks for your response. I was looking more though for something that already had the lime in it. I went to my LHBS and the guy there threw some stuff together for me, so we'll see how it turns out. If anyones interested here's what he gave me 4 lbs of Extra Light DME-Muntons 1 lb of Rice...

I'm looking to brew up a lime Brew, with a brewers best kit. Isaw a post from revvy that he did a cream ale with Roses marmalade, assuming all grain though. If not a cream ale, how about the American light kit? Any thoughts? my wife loves BLL. SO I'm trying to get close to that for her.

Nice. Thanks for the reply.

I'm a noob. I'm on my second brew and it's a Brewers Best Kolsch. I bought the WL029 yeast to go along with it. Here's where i'm a bit mixed up though. My Fermometer reads between 72-74, while I have the Bucket sitting in a cooler with water at about 62-64 degrees. The water is filled up to the...
