Is there a recipe out there for hard lemonade. I mean, I know I can just pour Citron in Country Time but I was just wonderin if any body has brewed anything like this?
Yooper Chick said:Actually, I've made a very good hard lemonade. It takes some real "babying" to get the yeast going. I'll see if I can dig up that thread. It's from about a year ago.
NurseNan said:I've seen recipes for Hard Lemonade that had Extra light DME replacing part of the sugar/all of the sugar.
smoke76 said:I see you have a Hard Lemonade in the primary. What recipe did you use?
NurseNan said:Sorry for the delay answering, I was on vacation! I used the Dme recipe:
8 Large cans frozen lemonade
3lbs Xtra light DME
ale yeast x 2
Boil 2 gallons of water with the DME for 5 minutes (you don't need to, but it smells good). Add to primary bucket, add frozen lemonade, then water to 5 gallons. Aerate like crazy. Pitch yeast. Wait.....
I'm racking to secondary on friday, and let it sit for 2-4 weeks till I bottle. I may add some lactose if its too tart.
