AIH Summer Shandy All Grain Recipe

This is a top favorite among all my friends. It's super refreshing and easy to drink. Compared to all my other brews, a keg of this doesn't last more than a few weeks. I might have to buy a few of these kits every Summer!

Bought three sets of grains for three batches. Summer Shandy was the third batch I got to make, but discovered all that arrived was the 2-row Malt and no flaked maize nor Crystal. Thankfully, I keep Crystal on hand so I could brew, but disappointed that it wasn't packaged correctly in TX. My bad...should have checked when it arrived, but encourage anyone that may order a kit to check the contents. Generally never any troubles with AIH, but this time it was short.

Iíve been brewing for a while and mainly get my grains from AIH. This is the first batch that is a dud. The recipe was great and easy to brew. The beer tasted good prior to putting the dram of lemon flavor in it but after that it ruined the taste with a very artificial, almost plastic taste. I would brew this kit again but flavor beer with real lemon juice or lemonade prior to bottling.

Great, fast shipping. Nice recipe. The only thing I initially didn't care for was the lemon flavoring. To me it is an interesting lemon flavor. It has grown on me a bit, but still not a huge fan of the type of lemon flavoring in the dram. Maybe should have used less (half dram), or maybe next time I will just add Country time lemon aid! But again overall a very nice easy brew and good beer!

This was a great beer but more of a lemon flavored Ale than a shandy. Next time I would add more sugar and less grain to smooth it out and maybe lemonade mix vs extract. The recipe as it stands is very refreshing, but is more of a lager/pilsner/cream ale with a touch of lemon. What it misses is a lemonade sweetness. Overall great homebrew!
