Notes

Ferment 3 weeks, after primary fermentation begins to slow (around 3-4 days) add simply limeade otherwise fermentation might overflow.
*Optional cherry addition after 2 weeks to produce a more cherry limeade flavor. I usually split the batch, bottle half normally and add the remaining beer to secondary racked on sour cherry concentrate for a few days then bottle.
