Subject: lemon zest in secondary
|
Hi all,
Just a thought. Has anyone ever added lemon zest to the secondary in
something like a pale ale or a hefe ? Are there oils in the zest that make
this a bad idea ? If you did try this, and liked (or disliked) the result,
how much zest did you use ?
Thanks,
Duke

I've added the zest of 2 lemons (IIRC) to 5 gallons of Belgian Wit in
the secondary. I enjoyed the flavor but it reminded many people of
floor cleaner, and consequently the thought it tasted "soapy." The safe
bet is to a wedge with the drink.

AB did this with their Spring Heat Spiced Wheat and it was pretty good.
They used lemon, lime, and orange zest I believe. I haven't tried it
but was really, really tempted with our last Hefe.
