My keg of this just ran dry. So sad.
I feel your pain. I pulled my kegs out of the keezer this weekend to clean the keezer and add a raised wire bottom. Anyway saw from the condensation on the keg I have only a few pints left.

This looks awesome! However, I'm not a big fan of Hefe yeasts (yeah, I know what you're thinking, LOL). With that being said, is there a suitable yeast substitute that would work well with this recipe but eliminate the phenolic components I don't care for?
Hey guys! Is it OK to replace the simply limeade with a homemade limeade? I don't have it available in my country... Thanks!
I thought it may be pasteurized, so it keeps the risk of infection down. But I'm not seeing anything about that on the label.
I'd say make sure you wash your hands and limes before making limeade, then go for it. Just remember sanitation and you'll be fine.
I want to brew this but try for more of a cranberry flavor, so I'd use a 1.75 of Simply Cranberry instead of Limeade.
Should I use the same hops or substitute with different ones?
Thanks!

No fermentation. Pitched yeast late last night. Kinda worried. Changed airlock. View attachment 393439
Be careful... I brewed it Sunday - 5 gallons in my 7 gallon brew bucket...and it blew the airlock off last night; so when it starts...it starts hard. Should have known better than to use a standard airlock and not a blow off tube
For what it's worth, I just recently bottled a Cranberry Wheat that used Chinook and Amarillo hops. When I sampled a bit at bottling, it was simply incredible - a very good choice.
This was for a 1-gallon batch, so scale it as necessary, but I added 0.08 oz of Chinook at 60 minutes, 0.1 oz of Amarillo at 30 minutes and 0.1 oz of Amarillo at knock-out.
Hope this helps -

So I have read through a lot of this thread, and thanks for posting SLIM as it looks great!
I was thinking of making a grapefruit version of this beer by using simply grapfruit instead of simply limeade, using grapefruit zest instead of lime zest, and possibly subbing Cascade for the Sorachi. I would use the same yeast, but was wondering if changing out the Sorachi Ace with Cascade would wreck the balance of this beer? Or would it be better to keep the Sorachi Ace and add some Cascade hops for flavor/aroma?
Thanks
Thanks. Fermentation started yesterday and she's bubblin away. Should I add the limeade today?View attachment 393590
Thanks!! Maybe I'll use those. How did you add the fruit? What and how much did you use?
I brewed this at the weekend, hit the OG perfectly, added yeast starter and away it went. Yesterday (Tuesday) the bubbling had slowed, but not completely stopped so I decided it was time to add the Limeade. I put it in and since then I've seen no activity in the airlock. Is this expected?

What are you fermenting in? Maybe a bad seal. Doubtful that the yeast aren't going to town on that sugar water.
