Like a trip to the corner lemonade stand – with a deliciously grown-up detour – this shandy combines an all-American style wheat beer with a heaping dose of real crystallized lemon.

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."

Better than expected

I don’t particularly seek out shandy’s but my brother wanted to make one so I said if he buys the kit then we can make it.

It was fairly straightforward on the brew so no surprises there. During fermentation, it turned into a beautiful color when the yeast was active and slowly darkened as the yeast dropped out.

It clarified fairly easy and I pitched the lemon mixture at kegging and gave it a few good shakes. The lemon wasn’t overly strong but gave it a good flavor. It was great timing with the weather and didn’t last long after carbonation. Will likely buy this kit on my own dime next time.

Done in anvil foundry 10.5 with pump.

Solid, refreshing

Good summer time brew. Worked well for kegging. Do wish it had a little fuller mouthfeel, but pretty close to mainstream summer shandys you might buy.
