So, SWMBO wants this for after she finishes growing our baby....
I look at the Leinies website and see it's a 4.5% ABV, 13.5 IBU, pale and wheat beer. I also know that, typically, Shandies are 50/50 beer/lemonade.
So what do you think of this: I brew a 9% AB, 27 IBU beer with 2/3 pale, 1/3 wheat malt, and a goodly amount of cascade hops throughout the boil. Ferment it with either S-05 or kolsch or Hefe yeast. Then once it's done, add 5 gallons of lemonade, (homemade? store bought? made from minutemaid mix and boiled water?), dropping me to 4.5% and 13.5 IBU. At the same time, I toss in whatever kills yeast, (sodium metabisulfite? is that the right thing??).
Keg it up, carb it up. Enjoy.
Think it'll work??
