In January I made the following
6.5# OB honey
~3.25gal water to 1.072
4g Potassium Bicarbonate
11.5g US-05 yeast
Used GoFerm and SNA. This was cold crashed and stabilized upon transfer to secondary where it sat until today. It now sits 3 gallons of finished product at 1.004 in a keg. Its very clean tasting and surprisingly sweet.
The intent is to add fresh squeezed lime juice, fresh mint, lime zest and back sweeten if necessary. Then carbonate and serve. Today it went to the keg and where I need help is what to do next. Carbonate? Acid (Lime Juice)? Start with the mint or lime zest one at a time? In what order would you approach this? Thanks.
ETA: Also if anyone has used fresh mint leaves, do you muddle them before steeping in the keg or put them in whole? Will muddled or chopped mint leave grassy flavors?
