Hi everybody
I love limes, they are one of the most underrated fruits, always living in the shadow of the inferior lemon. There are a few commercial brews that are flavored with lime (Bud light, etc..) and they are all light beers. Since I am not a fan of light beers, I don't purchase those brands, but I still long for a beer with a nice lime flavor in it. So, now that I am getting better at this homebrew stuff, I want to give a lime brew a shot. I'm just wondering, anybody have any tips?
This is going to be a lager, I just converted a mini-fridge to a lagering fridge, so I'm going to use it, and besides, lager is awesome. So, that part I am sure of, but everything else is in question, I have never brewed with fruit before (besides in my wine making days). Should I use lime zest or lime juice or some of both? How much? When should it be added?
p.s. Just because I mentioned bud light with lime does not mean I want to make a bud light with lime clone.
