Does anyone have a good recipe for a shandy using extract?? Thanks!

Sounds Awesome

I've tried the traditional lemon lime way, a raspberry lemonade way (twice), a heavy red lemon wheat, and straight lemon shandy using the extract recipe.

Tips: 1: The sorachi ace/motueka combo is key.
2: you can sub the yeast out with a clean ale yeast, but the original recipe yeast makes a complex and tasty beer.
3: try the original first. Then experiment with variations.

Enjoy!

How much water did you use for the boil?

 

[thaymond]

4 gallons in the boil, then top up to 5.5 after chilling when I'm using extract. I'll use 8.3 gallons for a full boil when I do All Grain BIAB.

Thanks.

That recipe says 10.7 ounces pale liquid malt extract. Is that correct? It doesn't seem like very much.

Its 2/3 of a lb. Or 1/5 of a 3.3 lb can.

Interesting. Thanks.

I look forward to making this.. Didn't see an OG/FG. Did you use a starter?

Starter, for liquid yeasts. If you use a dry yeast just rehydrate per manufacturers directions.
