Notes

After fermentation has complete, add 2.5 tsp potassium sorbate to stop fermentation, then after a few days combine 3 gallons of wheat beer to 2 gallons of lemonade in the keg

Actual: more like 50:50 lemonade: beer. Lemonade was strong. 24 lemons plus 1 qt bottle equals 8.5 cups lemon juice and 5 cups sugar (2.5 lbs). At first glance, beverage is way too much lemonade.
