Carbonating Hard Lemonade

[chiefsmurph]

On a side project I am making hard lemonade (I know.....) with a friend. In all the discussions I have found online about carbonating it, they have all recomended to force carb it because the normal method with corn sugar does not work well or something. I didn't fully understand why. Because I do not have the equipment to force carb, is there any way I can carb it without running into problems?

I guess I never heard that because I carbonated mine in bottles with 5 ounces of corn sugar. It is all bubbly and delicious.

You can definitely carb it with corn sugar! Maybe you've heard that you can't both sweeten it, and bottle carb. That's true, unless you sweeten it with non-fermentable sweeteners like lactose. So, people who want a sugar-sweetened drink with carbonation have to force carb. The yeast don't know which yeast are for carbing and which are for sweetening, so to try to carbonate a sweet beverage is asking for bottle bombs.
