After a few tense days of 'did I make and condition the starter right for high acid content?', here was my answer....
Wow! That looks great. What ABV are you going for?
Right into the primary...Was the rest of DME used in the primary or just the starter?
Nope...Any boil involved?
No idea, this is my first my batch...Any other yeast recommended?
Again, I have no idea... Just kinda pilfered the recipe here and said 'What the hell?"...What is the length of aging for a hard lemonade?
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...Any enzmyes, energizers or starters?
Honestly, I didn't really have one in mind... Just kinda took the idea from this thread...
hard lemonade problem - Home Brew Forums
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*
