Made mine up Tuesday night. I skipped the lime zest. I am going to add the lime juice to taste wen racking over to keg.
Quick question
I have not yet punched the numbers into my system, but i was wondering.
The OG on this is 1.051, would that change with the limeaid that is added at high krusen, or is it accounted for in the recipe makeup? More sugers added= more fermentables=more ABV, right?
Hope that makes sense.
Just finished 3 weeks fermenting in the low 60s (63-64) OG was 1.046 today its 1.008 temp adjusted out to... Same. 1.008. I can taste a slight lime at the very back end. I did not zest limes though. Well time to keg it.
This has been answered probably 40 times through the thread...
It adds approximately .5% ABV
Yeah this beer and my Kiwi IPA are both really explosive, both in fermentation and flavor. In regards to bottling, you can do a quick google search for priming charts and will be able to find the appropriate amount for this style of beer....I personally don't remember because I don't bottle this one very often.

Kiwi IPA? That sounds amazing! If you need me, I'll be in the IPA recipe section!

Northern brewer has an all grain recipe kit for a kiwi IPA. Believe it is called kiwi express

Brewed this up yesterday and it is now happily bubbling away. I made a few small changes so I'll let you guys know how it goes.
Grains:
6 lbs 2-row
4 lbs white wheat malt
1 lbs vienna
.5 lbs rice hulls
.25 lbs acid malt (for water profile)
hops:
.25 cascade @ 60min
.25 sarachi ace @ 20min
.25 cascade @ 20min
.75 sarachi ace @ 7min
I zested a lime, but of course I forgot to use it. Overall, everything went really well. I won't be using limeade. I am going to juice 6-8 limes and pasteurize them on the stove and add them in once the krauzen starts to fall. I got 79.6% brewhouse efficiency and am ending up with 5.5 gallons of beer. Hopefully I don't loose too much through the blowoff hose, but I am monitoring temps and we'll see.
I made a starter and this thing took off. I started seeing some bubbling through the hose and a krauzen within the first hour and a half. It smells amazing and I can't wait to taste this brew. Thankfully, it shouldn't be too long seeing as this bad boy is a hefe!
This beer is happily blowing up my carboy, holy cow the Wyeast 1010 is making tons of kreusen. I've since added a blow off tube. My LHBS is having a Light Hybrid (cat 6) competition in a couple months and I was thinking about entering this beer. I haven't added the Limeade yet. If I do will it fall outside of cat 6 and should I consider it a fruit beer (cat 20)? Has anyone brewed this and not added the limeade? If so, how did it turn out?
Just cracked open my first bottle and besides needing a little more carb time it is pretty good. What surprised me was the all the small floating things in the beer. I wonder if it is from the simply limeaide. anyone else have lots of small floaties?
Well I sat the keg at room temp for a week now and it tastes more astringent now than before. I'll let it go another week and see what happens, but it may be bound for the drain. I've looked at my brew notes and I don't see anything that should have affected it other than only fermenting for 16 days...... I've moved from extract brewing to BIAB since then, so maybe I'll give that a shot..... I was really looking forward to this!
