Mine is at 21 deg C. I wasn't going to add anything other than the 1.5 kg of pale malt extract that went in initially. But I may go down the lime route.
Yeastinfection did you use anything other than sugar at start?

Well bottled mine today :-)
Did 10 bottles with lime added to the priming sugar .
See how that goes :-)

I brewed mine with BE2 and the zest and juice of 3 limes, and it has matured well!
possibly brewed slightly short by half a litre, initially thought it was quite watery, but batch primed and bottled, now it is very drinkable when chilled! very refreshing with that lovely note of lime coming through.

Bought some limes and will add the juice from 3 when I come to batch prime.

Do I need to put boiling water with lime juice or should it be sterile straight from the lime? Seems a stupid question lol

I added sun dried lime to a Young Harvest Lager I bottled on Saturday. My mate gave me 57g of sun dried lime to add to a lager, I boiled 10g of the sun dried lime and 10g of perle hops on a ten min boil and added the tea and the bag to the FV. The reason I did it this is that with a ten minute boil any nasties are going to die in the saucepan and not cause me any grief in the FV down the line. On Friday week I'll try my firs bottle, it's a SWMBO brew, it's a light lager, bumped up to about 5.8% with a hint of lime and Perle hops. I'm hoping it turns out really nice.

I may do a late hop addition to make it a bit crafty. Any suggestions which sort to use in a cerveza?
