Thought I'd chuck up a recipe I've just done for the Aussie Summer. Tastes awesome if I do say so, but then I do love beer!!

4.50 kg Pale Ale, Golden Promise®™ (Simpsons) (5.0 EBC) 76.3 %
1.20 kg Wheat Malt, Pale (Weyermann) (3.9 EBC) 20.3 %
0.20 kg Gladfield Medium Crystal Malt (111.0 EBC) 3.4 %
10.00 g Amarillo [9.20 %] - Boil 40.0 min
10.00 g Galaxy [14.00 %] - Boil 40.0 min
15.00 g Amarillo [9.20 %] - Boil 10.0 min
15.00 g Galaxy [14.00 %] - Boil 10.0 min
5.00 Items Lime Zest (Boil 5.0 mins)
1.0 pkg Liberty Bell Ale (Mangrove Jack's #M36)
1.00 Items Lime Zest - Dry Hop 4.0 Days
20.00 g Amarillo [9.20 %] - Dry Hop 4.0 Days
20.00 g Galaxy [14.00 %] - Dry Hop 4.0 Days

20 Litres at 72°C for a Step mash of 60min at 67°C.
Mash out 10min at 75°C.
Sparge 16 Litres.

60 Min boil

I got an OG of 1.057 and a FG of 1.009.

I zested 5 limes for the 5 min boil and put zest of one in the fermenter with the dry hops. Trial around with it if you wish, all good!!

Sit back, pour a cold one and enjoy, I know I am!!

Ps, Got all my stuff from Steve at Hoppy Days in Brisbane. He's a legend!
 
Hi Mate! How "Limey" does it taste? I am wanting to make a light lime lager for the missus, and I am still trying to figure out how much lime zest to add and when! I was going to go a bit lighter on the boil addition (2 limes) and heavier on the "dry hop" addition (4 at D4). Would be interested to hear your experience!
 
Hey bro,

The lime taste of my one definitely faded out as time went on. Think your push with more on the dry hop could be a nice way to go.
Let me know how it tastes.
