the problem with adding lemon juice is that it will pretty much just ferment out. if your looking for some lemon flavor i would add lemon zest to the last 5-10 min of the boil.
maybe try .50oz to 1oz

Ok, that seems like a good idea. I really wanted to get a very evident lemon flavor though...... could I add lemon juice late in the fermentation..... or just before bottling?

Just serve it with a slice of lemon if that is really what you want

Right..... its that complementry flavor that I am going for without the need to always have a fresh lemon around.
