I've made 35 gallons of skeeter pee with dry yeast. Start with about 4 gallons of water and add everything except the lemon juice. When you have good fermentation going in about a day start adding lemon juice slowly over a 2 or 3 day period as long as you have good fermentation. I use B1112...
I tried experimenting this week with some cherry cider from trader joe's. Used one gallon of cider with 7 oz of sugar and EC-1118. After 2 days it's bubbling nicely.
