1 KG dextrose or even better Brew Enhancer 2

Made up to 23L

Kept in primary for 14 days at 18C

Day 10 added juice of one lime. At the same time make up a homemade lime extract using the zest of three limes and two ounces of vodka in a cup, then covered with plastic wrap. The vodka extracts the green color and flavor oils from the lime zest which turns white after a few days. This extract smelled really limey and just before bottling on Day 14 we strained out the zest.

1 Tbsp Club House pure lemon zest extract 2oz pure lime extract (using the zest of three limes and two ounces of vodka in a cup, then covered with plastic wrap. The vodka extracts the green color and flavor oils from the lime zest which turns white after a few days. This extract smelled really limey so just before bottling we strained out the zest.) added to the fermenter.

Before bottling our group did some sample taste testing and liked the sample with lime extract better than without. The lime flavor was not quite strong enough so we also added 1 Tbsp of pure natural lemon extract, stirred well then bottled. A week in the bottle its carbonated nicely resulting in a great Corona with lime clone beer. At first you taste the subtle limey flavors followed by the light hops so it is definitely beer but its not bitter nor sweet. Result is a very smooth, light tasting beer with the clear color of a Corona. If you need a quick, easy drinking beer then this Cerveza kit is a great Corona clone.
