Hard Strawberry Lemonade finally took off...
|
|
After a few tense days of 'did I make and condition the starter right for high acid content?', here was my answer....

Honestly, I didn't really have one in mind... Just kinda took the idea from this thread...
http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/hard-lemonade-problem-12104/
Here was the recipe I used...
9 cans lemonade concentrate
4.5 gallons water
.5 gallons organic strawberry lemonade
1.5 pounds dextrose
1 pound light DME
Made a starter of Munton's Gold dry yeast w/ 2 cups light DME... Let that settle out (24 hours), added 1/4 cup of the mixed lemonade, let that stand 24 hours and pitched to the pail....
OG was somewhere around 1.060... Currently sitting in the 'brew closet' @ around 70*

Fo sho....
SMWBO is all excited about it... I have to admit, I kinda am too...
Between that and the new batch of Apfelwein I started yesterday during my brew day of disaster, I am a little excited about having three primaries gurgling away at the moment... Now if my darned vanilla porter kit goes well this time...

Recipe ???
|
|
Was the rest of DME used in the primary or just the starter?
Any boil involved?
Any other yeast recommended?
What is the length of aging for a hard lemonade?
Any enzmyes, energizers or starters?

Again, I have no idea... Just kinda pilfered the recipe here and said 'What the hell?"...

Did use half of a yeast nutrient capsule I got with a previous kit... Like I said, I was just worried about the acidity shocking the yeast like I had read up on...

It was two 32oz bottles of Organic Strawberry Lemonade... Not from concentrate... Since SWMBO doesn't drink beer but doesn't mind those fruit flavored malt beverages, I figured this can't hurt... And I will add more of the juice or maybe a pound or two of strawberries...
