So I'm doing a split batch for an event. One will be a key lime Berliner and the other a straight up berliner with more than likely the addition of syrup at the event. Two questions: one, has anyone had experience with "Kermit's Key West Key Lime Juice" a family member was in KW and picked me up a few bottles and two, in terms of syrups any recommendations on what manufacturers make a good wooddruff or raspberry syrup. Are there other flavored syrups that one might recommend over the more traditional versions?
By the way, to my surprise and dismay the key lime juice does have sodium benzoate as a preservative. Per the bottle is has less than 1 1/0 of 1 % sodium benzoate. Any issues or concerns with using in the beer. Again this will only be for 2.5 gallons given I'm doing a split batch.
One other question, I've never done such a low ABV. Will S-05 get me to 1.006. Honestly, the only yeast to get me under 1.01 was 3711. I've used S-05 in the past and never gotten below 1.01.
Thanks and hopefully this berliner works out.
