Any gravity numbers?

Dont make something simple into complication. Follow this easy video for instructions using EC-1118 Skeeter Pee - How to make Lemon Wine: http://youtu.be/PiqOQ8EBIeU

I typically carb my ciders to 2 volumes. Just go by a regular priming calculator.

I find my cooler ferments have less of a problem with it, but yes use nutrient also.

Looks great!!

Free day today! Hitting the hard Mt Dew to start

That's why I was suggesting ec 1118 I use it to make Skeeter Pee all the time. Skeeter is a very acidic environment but 1118 never has a problem

Oh ok I see what you're saying. My wife is the one is kombucha maker but I get it. do you think adding sugar to the finished kombucha then pitching yeast could work

The process you are describing is something like what I was thinking I will try. I would think something strong like 1118 would be able to outcompete the bacteria for the sugar and create alcohol

The carbonated version is ready . The carbonation cuts the artificial sweetness a bit and makes it perfect. Great Mountain dew flavor and not too sweet.

Try using Brewers Best Cider House Select yeast. Even fermenting down to 1.0 leaves a nice apple flavor behind.

36 + 10gal apple + 5 gallons pecan + 5 gallons Red Hot apple = 56 gallons.

Anyone compared this to Cider House Select?

I didn't think it was necessary. There's a nice Mt. Dew flavor and the artificial sweetener that's in the syrup was enough for me.

Indeed! I wouldn't think so, but I suppose it's possible. The descriptions on the menu make no mention of either of those.
