So I made this beer about 2 weeks ago. I've got the smallest feeling that I did the lemon wrong from the taste. The beer has come out quite well but there is a wierd taste at the end.

I can't describe it yet but it somewhat takes
Tastes like the outside of the lemon.
Was I meant to use the out side skin of the lemon. I got the feeling no. Please let me know

 

[fletcher]

zest is purely the yellow "skin" or outside of the lemon. hopefully you haven't used any of the white pith which is just underneath the outer layer of the lemon, as this will give you a very sharp puckering bitterness. maybe it's the taste you are experiencing.

Next time try a Radler perhaps?

Otherwise there's quite a good (long) thread on here on how to brew (ie ferment) an alcoholic lemonade... using beer yeast. Does that count?
