Ive done both, corn sugar tasted a little better. Cane sugar gave it a very slight, strange, aftertaste. Im using cane again though this weekend. Its worth trying at least 3 it will grow on you :D Im currently digging your apple cider

Potassium sorbate is not necessary if you let it completely ferment. Ive used it in the past to stop fermentation because I had added way too much sugar and I had reached my f.g. If you are planning on bottle carbing dont use it. Your yeast will have a hard time fermenting your priming...

I stop it at 1.000, it would probably keep going a bit but I rack it to a secondary (to clear it)once its around 1.000. With the first batch, I added potassium sorbate, to attempt to inhibit further fermentation. It seemed to work however all 5 gallons were gone by the end of the week so i...

I use minute maid concentrate that comes in the frozen cans. I am sure there is better tasting lemonade out there that can be used, if any one finds it let me know. Unsweetened lemonade would be good too. My buddy made a gallon jug with 10 fresh squeezed lemons, water, sugar and yeast and...

It tastes like lemonade, somewhat sour but you can sweeten it to your own tastes. If you want it more malty add more malt extract, I may go all malt, no sugar in a 1 gallon glass carboy later this week. I have only made it a couple times and I am experimenting with it myself. I dont like...

Check the label, if there is any sorbates or sulfites, its no good. Just had a glass with lunch, it was good! 8% and I cant taste the alcohol at all.:mug:

If you use a yeast starter and some yeast nutrient you can get it start fermentation quicker. I always start the yeast in a mixture of water,sugar and a small amount of the lemonade so that the acidity is less of a shock to the yeast. May not make a difference.

Ive had it finish anywhere from 5 days to 3 weeks. Fermentation normally starts out slow because of the high acidity. Using a hydrometer, Adjust the amount of sugar and water to get your target original and finished gravity, to control your alcohol percentage. And add potassium sorbate to...

Enough lemonade concentrate(check label to make sure there is no potassium sorbate) and water to make 5 gallons. (10 cans) 2 pounds sugar, 1 pound ultra light dme (more or less depending on target alcohol percentage) 1 pack champagne yeast Ferment, add potassium sorbate when...

Awesome. Thanks for the help, I appreciate it.

Sorry, that was a cut and paste from a post a while back, it has been in the secondary for a week and a half now and its clear other than that gunk.

1/2 pound crystal 1/2 pound wheat Tied off in muslin bag and steeped in 3 gallons with burton water salts for 25 minutes at 155 degrees Heated to boil, added 1 ounce saaz hops two 3.3 pound cans light liquid extract After 30 minutes added 1/2 ounce fuggles hops 15 minutes later added...

Thanks, so im good to bottle tommorow? just filter it out? It is going to effect the taste? Anyone know what it is?
