It worked. With normal sugar it is sweeter, heavily carbed but no bombs. It is cloudier but tastes like a solid wheat beer. The one with lemon heads is clearer and tastes closer to a saison, also heavily carbed with a hint of dry lemon. I was shooting for a shandy flavor but missed the sweetness...

Here is the bottling day. Half my batch bottled with priming tabs that came with the kit and the other half with lemon heads. The first picture is down the bottle with the spots at the bottom being the candy that resolved with the sanitizer. Results will be after Christmas.

My goal is the lemon flavor and the candy was measured based on serving size. We'll see how it carbs.

40% could be lemon juice, at least I hope. I think the wax is just a coating but I'll try to wash it off with sanitizer.

Both carnauba wax and mineral oil are in them. Will that effect anything?

That's what gave me the idea. In fact they came with the kit. I just downsized and got a 3 gal fastferment that came with an extract kit.

Nah. Ima use candy.

Good call. I'll make sure.

I am planning on priming a wheat beer with lemon heads. Has anyone e done this before? What should I consider in the process?
