I'm not a pro, but I've only used regular bread yeast and have made gallons & gallons of hard lemonade, it turns out fine. In fact, if you Google yeast nutrient substitute, it'll say to use bread...

I'm a little late to answer, but 2 months is more than enough time to make a batch of hard lemonade. Cheap frozen concentrate, sugar and regular old yeast is all I use. If you let it ferment in a...

Those green streaks are ok to leave in, that crown shaped thing on the outside is what has to go. If you use a knife, sometimes the cut end has a green tint to it too, we don't worry about that...
