Ok, time to kill an urban legend.
Legend says lime slice on your Corona was to clean the residue off from rusty caps. Everybody heard that one?
Truth: learned this in South America.
Flies hate the smell of lime juice. That lime wedge was to discourage flies from crawling in for a drink. Many roadside eateries in SA wipe down the tables with lime juice to keep the flies at bay.
HINT: it only works for 10 or 15 minutes. Drink fast.

I'll be testing that... thanks!

I always heard it was just a bartenders friendly bet with someone...I guess it's unclear though: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/lime-aid/
 
Never heard the bartenders bet story. I do know that in Guyana, all the beers would come with a lime wedge, not just Corona. If the flys got too thick, you would wave the waitress over, and she would wipe your table down with lime juice. Not only does it chase the flies away, it's probably a fairly effective disinfectant.

Experimental BDSA. Bottled a few bottles of this about 2 weeks ago with no added yeast, absolutely flat. Kinda tasty anyway. Bottled another 5 gallons this morning, but that batch got added CBC-1.

Belgian Brut. OG 1.104, FG 0.992, ABV 15.8%, SRM 37, IBU 16.
I hope it carbs for you. I bottled a 15% barelywine back in September without adding yeast. No carbonation after several months so I popped them open and added CBC. 3 months later and still nothing. Kinda tastes like a sweet desert wine. I’m still hoping it’s going to carb...

That's on the Tavour list for next time. Here good things.

More Pils and PA. Going light till the brews done. Numbers looking good so far. Had to grind my own coffee for the stout I'm about ready to keg. Guess ground coffee is a necessity also...
