I'm sorry ahead of time if this is not in the correct place. Mods Feel free to move it to the correct location. My lady asked me to make this Stawberry Lemonade for her. Im always brewing beer and wine.. So it seemed simple enough. However, I'm trying to figure out an easy way to figure the % of alcohol.
I made a strawberry lemonade recipe that I found with ever clear.
Here is what I used.
8 Cups of Sugar
24 Cups of Water
8 Cups of Fresh Lemon Juice
64oz Pints of Strawberry Purée
1.75L of Everclear (190 proof)
Now it came out REALLY good. The lady loves it.
My thinking process was to convert everything to cups.
8 cups of lemon
24 cups of water
8 cups of stawberry
7.396825 cups of everclear.
But does the sugar affect it? I know the ever clear is 95% alcohol how do I account for that. Doing math I came up with around 5% That seems pretty low or inaccurate. I was under the impression it was going to be really strong. Like there was warning all over the recipe that its really strong and be careful. 5% is like a normal beer and not strong.
I did find a Dilution Calculator (http://homedistiller.org/calcs/dilute) I took a screenshot after I entered all the info into the calculator. That seems to say its around 20%. 20% is more i like it. That is more of what im looking for.
