  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:
