Ive been contemplating doing a hard lemonade. Do mind sharing you recipe?

I have 5 gallons of Yooper's recipe fermenting right now, at 8.5%, as well as another batch of SkeeterPee at 12.5%. The one thing I would recommend is to get the ReaLemon Juice. A friend picked up the ingredients last year and got the Kroger brand. It had a funk to it that carried through to the final product--not bad/funk, just a weird processed smell. Hell, maybe the ReaLemon has it too. I'd never bought bottled lemon juice before. But you can get a 2-pack at Sam's for cheap. Yooper's recipe uses frozen lemonade concentration. I'm about 4 days into fermentation and it smells damn good already. I would certainly take the extra couple days of going through the process of gradually adding the must to the yeast starter to help build up the tolerance to the high acidity of the lemon juice.
I'm doing an open ferment on it using the Premier Cuvee yeast.

Somebody's a fancy pants.
Anyone have any yeast they want to swap at the hop split? I have a ton of infected 2nd generation Sierra Nevada Pale Ale harvested yeast...

I have some of Rebel Brewer American Pub Ale Yeast WLP250 that I can trade you if you are interested. I made an Amarillo Pale Ale with it that I'm about to bottle.
Csuho said:I didnt care for rebel yeast. I thought it was terribly slow and didn't want to drop out for nothing. Also had it stop early ( but a quick shake got it going again). Never had this happen be4 with any other yeast. I might have got an off vial I dont know but I know I wont buy it again.
Also I was told that it gets better after the 2nd repitch. I plan on bringing a jar to the hop split maybe 2.
Ive used the rebel yeast and really like it. It did take a while to ferment out (14 days) but I didn't have any issues with it dropping out. I cold crash though and that helps. And it finished my apa at 1008. Its def faster on the 2nd and 3rd try
Additionally, I really like the character it has. Works nice in my house apa
