Hey everyone,
Quick question about a summer shandy-style I am brewing today. The recipe, borrowed from wjbunton, is:
8 oz. Carapils - steep
8 oz. Crystal 10L - steep
3 lbs. Light DME
3 lbs. Extra light DME - late addition
Hops:
0.36 oz. Amarillo 60 min
0.3 oz Citra 30 min
0.5 oz Ahtanum 5 min
Yeast:
Wyeast 1056
5.5 Gallon batch
My question, I would like to add lemon flavor to this, and have seen a few shandy recipes which call for unsweetened lemon kool-aid added to bottling sugar when bottled. Thoughts about that?
Also, when using Irish moss, I usually add 1 teaspoon at last 15 minutes of the boil. Does adding more mean more clarification? Is it possible to add too much?
