Enough to get 3 quarts of juice which would be alot. Why wouldn't you have lemon juice in Australia? Don't you guys use lemon juice in cooking and baking? Let alone as a mixer in drinks????

Doubtful, Apfelwein takes apple juice and makes a dry white wine out of it. Skeeter Pee is supposed to be sweet and taste like lemon. I am sure if we did it like Apfelwein it would be more dry white winish. Also I guess citrus is supposed to be notorious for being hard to get fermenting which is why I think some of these other steps are involved.
so my batch of skeeter pee came out looking fine and tasting quite good. The only issue I have is a slight yeasty smell. My wife and friends don't seem to mind but I know it could be better. Any ideas?
Wish I could figure an easier a to do it
If there's liquid left over, sweeten to taste and drink.
1. What is the most common yeast cake used? Flavor it has given?
2. I have not seen where people have tried this with out a wine yeast cake? How do i make it with out one?
was thinking of giving this a whirl, but was thinking of an added twist. Has anyone out there tried to backsweeten this with frozen juice concentrate, like maybe a cranberry or raspberry? My thought was to do that, and then force carb in a keg. Mikes hard lemonade on tap by the pool? I would probably have to put life jackets on my guests.
Maybe some lime concentrate, Margaritas on the rocks on tap!
Anyone tried this with orange juice instead of lemon? Not a big lemon fan, but I love OJ. Also, pineapple juice?
Lemon juice has a very small amount of fermentables, I believe.
Yeast don't do well in pure sugar water... you'd have to add at least the nutrient.
I guess thats why you do the 1st step combining the sugar water and lemon juice with the energizer etc. and leave it for a couple days with just a towel over it and stir it every so often before adding the slurry to get the preservatives out.
