Notes

Citric acid concentration in "Other Ingredients" should be 5%.

Use 1/2lb. lemons for 5-gal of Mash Water (scale up or down as necessary). Remove wax from lemons with hot water and paper towel. Zest lemons and set zest aside. Quarter lemons and add to mash. Remove lemons with spent grain and discard.

Add zest at end of boil.

Pitch yeast cool (64°F - 18°C)
Open ferment at 70°F - 21°C for 3-4 days, watching for signs of slowing activity.
Once fermentation slows, close with airlock and let free rise to ≈ 75°F - 24°C, or slightly above. Stay below 80°F - 27°C.

Leave in fermenter for ≈ 2 weeks, dry hopping with 2-3 days left.
