Home Brew – Hard Lemonade Is Soft
Posted by bradinator in Experiments, Home Brewing on September 9, 2010
My Hard Lemonade is still a lot like regular lemonade. Regular lemonade is good for kids, but I think I would prefer the more adult version. The version that helps me get drunk.
I took a gravity reading again last night and low and behold it is still sitting at around its original gravity of 1.040. I decided that waiting any longer could be risky for the batch so I pitched a different yeast on top of it. The EC-1118 wine yeast has yet to fail me and this morning the batch smelled less like juice and more like bread, so its a good sign.
I will take another gravity reading in a couple days and hopefully see a drop otherwise this batch may be destined for the toilet.
