[THC] Fruit&Hops?

[Alan Schwab]

Tom,

That might have been me that brought the lemon beer.  It was a kit from
Northern Brewer I think.  Aussie Light Ale with 2oz Tettnang hops and
not much in the way of malt extract.  We added the zest of half a lemon
and the juice of a whole one.  Then went ahead a threw the whole rind in
during the last 15 minutes I think.  Pictures of it are up here:
