Its been so long since I've checked this forum, Howd that mojito limeaide turn out?

O sorry i massed the oats and barley took an Iodine test after an hour n half, The beer came out ok, has a bit of a bite from the molasses, but every one who has tried it liked it and asked for another so I guess it worked out:tank:

Mine came out tasting pretty much just like the limeaid, as if I just mixed up a can in the juice pitcher. Not dry or sweet, right in the middle. Everyone who tried it like it much better than Mike's. Didnt have that artificail flavor. Realy tasted like the juice with a kick.:rockin:

You dont need to pasturize it, the juice has already been pasturized from the bottling or canning factory.

Yeah the whole 5g package

Oh I'm sorry forgot to tell you guys. Use LALVIN EC-1118 yeast. I have tried this before with the Naughtinhams yeast, but I think all the citrus killed off the yeast. EC-1118 is my go to yeast with ALL of my ciders. It is a champange yeast so the bubbles are quite nice and send the booze...

Ok here we go. The cans of limeade are to make 1/2gal so you will need 2 for each gallon you make. I as a general rule use atleast 1 cup of white surgar per gallon and no more than 2 cups per gallon. In this case i'll go threw the 5gal I made. I took two cans of limeade and 1gallon of water...

Right on man good luck! I was thinking the next time I make it, probably late winter or early spring, that I might do a 5gal batch and split it into two 2.5 gallon 2ndary's and add 1/2 gal strawberry or cherry juice one, just to mix it up a bit. Also I was at the grocery store yesterday...

well I used minute made concentrate, used 10 containers they were 2 for $3 ao thats $15 the yeast $1.50 5ibs bag of white surgar $2.79 and priming surgar $3 so that come to $22.29. it took from first mix in primary to ready to drink in 4or5 weeks. I left the pulpp in and lost it when racked to...

This just sounds silly, much easir to just bottle it at your place. It would suck if all that beer fell over and went all over the inside of your car

I always rack off to a secondary for a few reasons. I only have one 6 gal bucket/primary, so i like to move the beer out of the way so I can use the 6er, also to recycle the yeast cake. More money spent on beer less money spent on fishing tackle. Also you tend to get a clearererer beer, cloudy...

HAHA I forgot about my GAP brew, left it in the back of the closet forever ago. So long all the water in the air lock evaporated. I took a sniff actualy smelled like flat beer. Gave it a taste, not so bad real choclaty coffe n a bit sour. I used the hersey cocoa mix, worked ok I guess...

its cool white surgar works fine, I use it alot, i pretty much only drink what I make, and I always try to "brew" as cheap as possible, so store brand white surgar is usualy my go to especialy with a cider, works as priming to but def not the best, corn syrup works well to and just about...

LIMEADE! I just finished up drinking it all. Was the go to on them hot august days! If you go with lime or lemon use EC1118 I just bought 10 containers of minutemade limeade mix with a pound of white surgar toped off 5gal in primary, had alota pulp, but lost it when racked to 2ndary. Zero at...

I dunno about pumpkin cider, I'd think a beer would be a better option
