Lime zest is infuriating! I goofed around with it quite a bit in the late-90's and could never get it to work on the hot side. Reasonable quantities just fade out and larger quantities wind up tasting like that bag that you find in the back of your fridge when you're looking for that jar of, "I know I bought that last year, where the hell is it?" You can't determine which leftover bit of vegetable it used to be because it's now brown and slushy and it smells like too much lime zest added on the hot side.This one I added crystallized lime when I packaged. I had no room in the fridge so I primed the keg w a sugar and the crystal lime. I like the result. Last year I made a very similar recipe but I added the lime zest at flame out. I liked both but the first brew w the zest seemed to loss it’s lime flavor while this one is hanging on.
You and me both! I'm soooo ready to brew tasty brown things, but the weather is still a month out from that. Right now, I am to brown porter as a fifteen year old is to boobies. My thoughts about ordinary bitter violate the forum rules.Fizzy yellow liquid, waiting for this heat to break ...

Agreed there. I so far am enjoying the crystallized lime but it’s only been about 5 weeks and it sorta feels like I cheated. I played fast and loose with the priming/lime solution too. Half kegged and half bottled and I haven’t tested a bottle yet. I’d love to unlock that fresh squeezed lime flavor but I think it’ll be outta my grasp.Lime zest is infuriating!

With such a strong and unique flavor, you'd think lime would be one of the most trouble free and reliable flavors to add to beer. And I guess it is, provided you pinch your lime fresh into the glass.
Lime: A great friend to beer drinkers, mortal enemy of brewers.
Hope that all it does. Know of around 20 folks who caught this lastest batch all came out with flying colors.Bad news... COVID+ (is that picture a HIPAA violation? ).
