I want to try a beer with some pretty heavy lemon taste. when brewing the blue moon I add .5 oz of McCormick valencia orange zest at 5 mins.....Would the same addition of lemon in a pale ale work or should I bump it up? I have added the lemon to Cream of Three Crops and the beer is tasty but no lemon taste at all.would one oz be over kill?
lemon addition ?

I've seen some of the guys on the Cooper's site in Australia add sliced lemons to the fermenter. Maybe 4-6 whole lemons. Another guy even adds sliced fresh ginger & spices with that.
Wow! 4-6 lemons?? lol that seams like a lot!
Anyway...I've came up with a recipe for an American Wheat that has lemon and ginger in it. My recipe only uses about 3/4 oz of fresh lemon peel, and I that works great. 1 oz might be too much....but that could just be your taste!
