lemonade

[fendermallot]

just bottled my cherry lemonade. Don't know why but I got a bug in my ass saying it wasnt "cherry-ish" enough and I put a bit of imitation cherry flavor in there. Probably going to taste like ass now. Live and learn I guess...

working on my regular lemonade now... Took ages to ferment!

 

[fendermallot]

not sure why, but mine took off like a rocket. I had to use a blow off tube. It was 3x32oz Santa Cruz Cherry Lemonade, 2 cups dextrose and montrachet yeast. That's it...

 

[ThunderPanda]

Really?? crazy... Next time I will probably use a wine yeast, this time it was Nottingham

 

[fendermallot]

yeah, I'm not sure about using an ale yeast to make lemonade...

Don't do that. Buy a litre of organic cherry juice and reduce it to a thick syrup. Add the syrup when serving, if you're bottling it. Instant, real taste.

 

[fendermallot]

cool.

yep, just dumped out a 12pack of the lemonade. that imitation flavoring really f'd up my brew! Not going to do that again! (mainly because swmbo was not pleased I ruined her lemonade!)
