How much fruit to add

[HebrewPaleAle]

I'm trying to make a sierra nevada pale ale clone with some lemon in it I want just a hint of lemon flavor so my question for you guys is: How much lemon should I add and when?

Also thinking of doing it with a little bit of strawberry, but I haven't really decided yet.

There is a table in the latest Zymurgy mag, the one with a wheat beer on the cover. I only quickly scanned it but it did say lime in there so I reckon it'll have what you need.

Not sure if you can get any, but you could try sorachi ace hops for some lemony-ness

I'm experimenting with the herb "lemon balm" in a cream ale in a few batches 1 to 1 1/2 oz to 5 gallons last few minutes of boil supposed to impart a nice lemony flavor. planted in my herb garden this years and each plant has doubled in size since planting. Also Argentinian Cascade is supposed to be lemony as well.

I'm going for more of a pale ale shandy, thanks for the suggestions on the hops though. I just want it to be a hint of lemon (Like Sam Adam's summer ale or saranac's summer brew) I will probably end up winging it.
