Hey there, I've decided to make a wheat beer, and this'll be my 2nd beer to date (I also did a cider, which I've sortof gotten sick of, which is why I'm turning it into apple jack , but I digress) Anyway, I thought that it would taste quite nice to add some lemonyness to the wheat beer, since it is quite a light/delicate type flavoured beer - at least that's what the wheat beer that I tried was like.
Now I'm not sure what I should actually add to give this lemon flavour, whether I should add just lemon juice at the beginnning, or during 2ndary, or zest or even just cut up fruit in the 2ndary. Maybe I should try and infuse the lemon into the water at the beginning, by putting some cut up lemons into boiling water. I am really thoroughly confused, and unsure on which way will be easiest or best, or maybe I'm tottaly off the mark.
Any feedback would be much appreciated, and I wouldn't mind it pretty quick cos I'm thinking about starting it in a few days (I've first got to purify some water, I wanna see what it's like with distilled water). Thx in advance and sorry about the somewhat long post. :cross:
