After trying Blue Moon's Summer Ale (brewed with Kaffir[?] Lime leaves) last year, my fiance' has been on me to try adding lime to a batch.
I'm not much of a fan of lime in beer (brings back too many flashbacks to my bartending days in the 80's, and the "Corona-with-a-lime" yuppie mantra), and I am planning on brewing a Pale Ale and an Alt for my next batches, within the next week or so.
My question is, how can I accomodate my beautiful and lovely, with out having to make a whole batch ? I am thinking about adding lime juice or possibly dried lime leaves to the bottling bucket when I am about half-way through, but am open to any and all suggestions (other than getting a woman that doesn't like lime in her beer !).
P.S.- I was also thinking about dry hopping the Pale Ale. Will that do anything "negative" to the brew if I add lime to it ?
