Lol! Pretty much. Everyone who’s tried it, including two professional brewers really like it. I think it’s a little too hot. If I do pitch more yeast and bring the ABV up to say 12% and back sweeten with 1:2 (a can of lemonade diluted to half strength) should bring the ABV back down while retaining the flavor?
I guess what’s bugging me about it is I intended it to be a light crisp refreshing alcoholic drink that goes down easy and you can put a pint away without noticing... IMHO, it’s more like a mixed drink and 4 ounces is more than enough.
I have a board meeting tonight so I’ll bring a half pint and get more feedback. My club’s main focus is to brew following the BJCP, but also include wine, cider and mead.
Edit: This is one of three beverages I made for family reunion, so I really don’t want it too high in ABV. I’d like to see it around 5-7%.
