Description

What is Lemon Peel?
Lemon peel is the outer, vibrant yellow layer of the lemon's skin, rich in essential oils and aromatic compounds. It is widely used in brewing to add a punchy citrus profile that balances sweetness, bitterness, and acidity. Dried lemon peel is particularly convenient for brewers, as it offers consistent flavour without the need to zest fresh fruit.

Benefits of Lemon Peel

  • Fresh Flavour Profile: Lemon peel delivers a tart and refreshing flavour that beautifully balances the sweetness of malt and the bitterness of hops.
  • Aromatic Character: Its vibrant and citrusy aroma enhances the beer's appeal, adding an inviting complexity.
  • Versatile Use: Lemon peel can be incorporated into a wide variety of beer styles, making it an exciting addition to your brewing repertoire.

Use in Beer Brewing
Dried lemon peel is an excellent ingredient for enhancing various beer styles:

  • Wheat Beer: Lemon peel adds a bright, zesty freshness, complementing the soft malt notes typical of this style.
  • Belgian Witbier: Its citrusy character enhances the fruity and spicy nuances of this traditional wheat beer.
  • Experimental Brews: Use lemon peel to craft unique and surprising flavour profiles in creative beer recipes, delighting the palate with innovative combinations.

How to Use Lemon Peel?
To achieve the best results with lemon peel, follow these straightforward guidelines:

  • Addition: Add lemon peel during the last 5–10 minutes of the boil to release its aromatic oils, or include it during secondary fermentation for a more subtle citrus infusion.
  • Quantity: A general recommendation is to use 10–15 g of dried lemon peel per 20 litres of wort, adjusting according to your desired intensity.
  • Monitoring: Pay attention to flavour development during fermentation, as lemon peel can introduce a slight bitterness if overused.

History
Lemon peel has been used for centuries in culinary and brewing traditions, valued for its bold and uplifting flavour. Historically, lemon peel was a staple in spiced ales, known for its ability to preserve and brighten flavours. In modern craft brewing, it remains a favourite ingredient, often used in summery, refreshing beers and experimental recipes.
