the recipe looks great, and not too complicated either. How long do you leave it in the secondary until its at a drinkable point for taste? |

Well, if you juiced the lemons, you'd have the basics. I'm not sure how much sugar you'd need, though, since that concentrate is loaded with sugar. I'd juice the lemons and add sugar to get to 1.080 (or lower if you wanted less ABV) and make a yeast starter (since lemons are so acidic). Of course, this is all just my opinion, since I've never done it.

Right- I mean, just juice the lemons until you have a gallon of juice, I guess. I'd probably make a one gallon batch first, just to make sure it worked before you try a bigger batch.

I use a bucket with a cloth over it, then put it in a carboy for secondary. It is nice to use a similar sized vessel in secondary- so you could use the 5 gallon carboy for secondary for a 5 gallon batch.

This looks amazing and Id love to give it a try. I just have a few quick questions-- What temperature do you recommend fermenting it at? I cant really maintain anythign lower than 70 degrees F right now but I in about a month once it cools off Ill be able to do that. In your opinion is it better carbonated or uncarbed? Is there a non-fermentable sugar you could recommend for sweetening it. Edit: Also, what sugar do you normally use? Granulated white sugar or dextrose (corn sugar)?? Thanks!
