Bottled Shandy From A Homebrew Lager Kit ?!!?

[turbomad2b]

Strange question here lads & its for the missus - can i add fizzy (schweppes) lemonade to my homebrew lager during bottling (or any other stage) to end up with a bottled shandy ?!

you may run into problems if it's normal sugarry lemonade as you'd then have quite a lot of sugar in the bottle with the yeast which could lead to bottle bombs. would work with diet lemonade though.

Ok, what about not using any priming sugar in the bottles if i were using lemonade , or would this still cause to much pressure ?!

It'll ferment out dry and leave none of the sugar and probably taste dreadful, also a good chance of bottle bombs.

It would be far better to bottle your brew as normal & add the lemonade to the lager when you serve it.
