Lemon Shandy

Have 5 gallon batch of pilsner fermenting now. Looking to bottle it after 7 days. I'm thinking making real lemonade and also adding 1/2 of the priming sugar from the beer kit. Or do I skip the white sugar and just use the priming sugar with lemonade? Not wanting bottle bombs.

I am making a shandy as well and i was wondering what you did and how it turned out. I saw many different takes on the method for a shandy, pour half lemonade half beer, add country time to the beer during bottling, or just add lemon flavor during bottling and add a simple syrup to your glass.

I am bottling tomorrow and i still don't know how i want to proceed... cheers!

 

If it were me, I'd make my beer... Then I'd make a hard lemonade... Once the lemonade was done, sorbate and back sweeten then mix the beer and juice. Keg and carb... Or better yet, keep them separate and mix on demand. That way you have "three" options to drink. Might not be an option for you tough with out kegging gear.
