Chili Lime Ale

[rwashko]

I'm thinking that I want my next beer to be an all grain chili lime wheat ale. I haven't noticed many recipes using lime juice in the mix so I was just wondering if a significant amount of lime juice (I'm thinking roughly 1 cup in 5 gal) will throw the ph of my brew off enough to keep the yeast from doing their job. Also, I intend to put quite a bit of heat into this one, any idea if the capsaicin will be damaging to the yeast? Thanks in advance for any thoughts!

I don't know the answers, but am interested in hearing them. Subscribed.

I don't know for sure having never used either of those, but I would be inclined to add them both after the initial aggressive fermentation is done.
