Another Bloody Lemonade Thread

[Silo Ted]

I want to be able to taste lemon.. is it possible to make an alcoholic Solo-ish drink??

What was that old Solo ad? Was almost like the old VB ad's. A big mans thirst can only be quenched with an icy cold Solo. :lol:

I dont get how an acidic citrus base would ferment nicely with the brewing yeast we use for beers.

Standard wine yeast.

I used US-05 in my lemonade and was quite happy with the result. However, it needed a few weeks in the keg before it became really good. The wife likes it alot too!! :beer:

U can use any yeast u like. If u read the other lemonade threads you'll see what most people use (which is us05 or so4).
U can use wine yeast if u like but is unnecessary, and probably more attenuative than needed/wanted. A sweet mead yeast would also be good. Just use whatever u have on hand.

Excellent..

Now I only have to get the flavours right.. I slipped up on the ginger.. so it kinda tastes more like ginger beer, but its still good.
