Brewing Notes: Style: American Wheat Beer/Fruit Beer Fermentation Range: 59 –
74F OG: 1.045 SRM: 4.5 IBUs: 14 ABV: 4.4% Brewmaster Brad’s Thoughts: “Not
much is more refreshing than an ice-cold glass of fresh lemonade, or for that
matter, a cold, lower ABV American Wheat Beer. Brewers have known this to be a
great combination for a long time, and it is high time for a recipe kit
featuring this classic combination. The base beer is a simple American Wheat
with moderately low bitterness and then it is dosed with real, all natural,
preservative-free crystallized lemon. Not to be confused with lemonade mixes
or soft drink mixes, the crystallized lemon in this recipe is just that –
lemon. Since the crystallized lemon contains no sugar, the beer gets a
delicious dose of lemonade flavor without adding additional fermentables that
could lead to a renewed fermentation or possible over-carbonation in the
bottle. Give this one a whirl, it is truly a refreshing treat even for the
biggest of hop heads.”
