Every year I run a bus trip to the local Jimmy Buffett concert usually Camden NJ or Philly. This year I would like to start adding my own beers into the mix utilzing soda kegs.
I want to start experimenting now so when the time comes to start the real brewing I have a plan in place. I have never really strayed from a receipe before so this is new ground to me. Also I need to keep the alcohol percentage reasonably low as I don't need to deal with them getting drunk too early in the day
I plan to start with the American Wheat Beer extract kit from Northern as my base..

I have several 4L Carlo Rossi jugs my plan is to primary in a bucket then split the batch over 4L jugs to secondary in and add some summer tones. I was thinking Lemon peel in one, Lime in another, Orange in a third... Would love to hear some suggetions here.
I assume I should also attempt to clairify this as I don't want to scare people off with the cloudiness. I have seen people say to make extracts with the citrus zest and vodka. Also have heard boiling them, anyone have experience doing this sort of thing.
Open to any suggestions...
