First let me begin by saying- I'm a newbie, but I 'm hooked.
I recently finished my very first brew, which was an all extract wheat beer and I (and Friends) were very happy with the results. I just picked up my second extract today from my local HBS. I selected a pils along with a a WYeast Cal Lager Smackpack.
I'm not quite ready for 50/50 grain & extract brewing yet, but would like to find a way to customize my brew. So I purchased a jar of clover honey and was planning to add it to the extract during boiling. I was also thinking of getting a lemon, cutting it up and placing it in a muslin bag during boilwing as well. I'm thinking/hoping this would make a nice spring brew.
Here are my questions:
Thanks for your time and look forward to any feedback!

Here are my questions:
- Is this a bad idea to begin with or will all be well?
- Any other things I could add to extract in hopes of a nice spring pils?
