I read the skeeter pee recipe and like it but I like strawberry lemonaid better... So my thoughts are to get 2-3 pounds of frozen strawberries and pure them, add sugar and put them into gallon jugs. I would then pitch a pack of wine yeast on to each and let them get going. Once they were going well I'd split them into 3 gallon jugs and start adding some lemon juice to essentially use the strawberry puree as my starters. Once they had a decent amount of lemon juice in them I would rack them to a carboy and follow the skeeter pee recipe from there on out.
My question is if I need to reduce the amount of lemon juice and sugar to compensate for the strawberry starters or just follow it out from there? I didn't really want to make a real high ABV but I don't know how I would figure the OG in this "2 stage" fermentation...
Does this sound like it should work and or any suggestions on figuring the ABV???
