ok after reading the other thread on hard lemonade im making my own batch im only doing a small 1 gal batch to see if i like it but im a little confused about some stuff since im only doing a 1 gal batch so heres my questions
my recipe:
2 cans lemonade (minute made)
1\5 lb extra light malt extract
6.4 oz corn sugar
1 gal water (or what ever tops it off)
1tsp yeast nutrient
white labs champagne yeast #wlp715
boil lemonade and LME for 20 minutes cool and pitch yeast i have never used yeast nutrient when do i add it??
ok here comes my questions (1) i thought i was going to brew tonight but it got to late but i had the yeast out for about 2 and a half hours and i put it back in the frig is it still ok or do i need new yeast?? (2) i heard it is hard to get the yeast started with the acidit lemonade so i was thinking i would make a starter with a little bit of every thing in it only a 12 oz coz of the size of my batch or should i just pitch?(3) since im only doing a one gal batch and my yeast is the for a 5 gal batch should i pitch it all or only 1\5?
is there any thing i missed im really confused about this batch for some reason
thanks fleas
