Ok, i tried making my first skeeter pee and i followed all instructions as best i could. While it did take FOREVER for fermentation to begin, it did finally take off and finished at around 10% which is right where i wanted it.
The ONLY deviation i made to the recipe was the addition of 1 dram of lemon extract.
Heres where it went wrong.... Bottling. I reused corona bottles that were given to me by a friend. After i de-limed them, i put them in a bucket of bleach water mixture, boiled them, washed them out with dish soap and hot water, then sanitized with one step sanitizer solution. ( yeah, i might have gone overboard)
After filling them with my cleaned and boiled tubing, i capped them and let them sit for 2 weeks. When we finally got round to popping some open, we noticed a faint, but definite windex type flavor in the after taste.
Did i go too far in sanitation or not far enough? Could the residual flavor be because of the soap? Did i not rinse them well enough? Or could it be something i did wrong? i will try again when it warms up, but for now i will just have to drink them out and use an industrial dish washer to clean these bottles again for further use.
