It's snow cone syrup from Walmart. I add it to the glass, to taste. (I also have watermelon and pineapple syrup.)never heard of lime syrup, where would you get this? googled it and found a monins brand. and how much do you use per 5 gallon.

One of the Gold-medal winning meads at the 07 NHC was a "Mojito" mead with mint and lime. Mmmmmm.
Let me explain this equationally:
mead != beer
beer + lime =

I like that idea and I would also say try zesting some lime into secondary. I had good success with that with orange peel when I brewed a Belgian Wit last year too.I think you'll get the best results squeezing lime into your glass. If you really want to add it during the brewing, then zesting a lime is probably the way to go and tossing some of that in at knockout.

When he stated someone other than him wanted this batch made rather than "I want to make lime beer" I took a page out of my own life. If someone wants a bud light type beer they can just go buy it I have tons of other recipes I'd love to brew and limited time. Want to take a spin on my jump to conclusions mat?People who say it isn't worth your time to brew don't understand the concept of homebrewing in my opinion. Make what you want to make. You want to make lime beer. So make it.

thanks this is what i was looking for.Ken - My latest Wit/Hefe (Matylda Wit) was a lemon flavored wit and it turned out to be one of my better batches. For the puposes of this thread, I imagine you can sub out the lemon for lime. My recipe is below. OG - 1.051 FG - 1.010 IBU - 18 SRM - 4 ABV - 5.3% 4.5 lbs - American 2-row 4 lbs - Wheat Malt 1 lb - Flaked Wheat 8 oz - Flaked Oats .75 oz - Mt. Hood (5.0 AAU) 60 mins .25 oz - Mt. Hood (5.0 AAU) 5 mins WYeast 3944 Belgian Witbier 6 - Lemons zested 1 tsp - Ground Corriander .5 tsp - Nutmeg .5 tsp - Cinnamon - Mash at 152 for 60 mins - Add spices and lemon zest at 10 mins - Ferment at 68 degrees - Garnish with lemon! Again, you can adjust the spices and probably sub out the lemon zest for lime zest. Brew on!
