I just started a small one of these up, more so because lemons were the only fruit i had enough of and I just enjoy the process of fermenting something I can drink. Your videos are great, i like how you keep things simple as sometimes things can seem a little intimidating with all these chemicals and additives because i dont have much experience under my belt yet.
The high acidity makes it challenging with the yeast. Someday when I re-shoot this video, the only thing I would add is some homemade yeast nutrient that I now include in all my more recent videos.
Will make this soon I love your videos, I made skeeter pee which is similar but I use lemon and lime juice and added 5 cups of sugar also to make it sweeter great video
Hi, I am new here, just subbed. First off, I love the stove you have. I got one of those glass tops and I miss my old stove with coil rings. I have done a few sugar washes in my day if ya know what I mean so very interested in the hobby.
Great video! I'm fermenting mine in a carboy. After about a month it looks like the fermentation is completed. No more bubbling. looks clear. Checked hydrometer - 1.0. Tasted it - a hint of sweetness. After a few days - the same thing - 1.0. Do you think the yeast went dormant? Safe to bottle?
From what I've seen, most home brewing recipes that involve lemons tend to only include zest, and not juice due to acidity inhibiting fermentation. do you ever have a problem with starting fermentation/maintaining it by using lemon juice? A highly acidic environment can also stress the yeast which can produce off flavors, it's best to look up a specific yeast strand that performs well in a highly acidic environment, if you are set on using lemon juice. Let me know what you think
If your ferment goes well most of the sugar should be alcohol by 14 days however the best way to tell is using a hydrometer So yeah it's probably fine there might be some sugar left which some people like so if your gonna start clearing and bottling it I'd pasteurize it first if I were you

Thank you for watching.
레몬와인 만들기 영상 공유 해주셔서 감사드립니다. 저도 레십기대로 한번 만들어 볼께요. 저는 한국 친구 입니다.
Good ole Skeeter Pee (Lemon Wine) country wine classic! Great video!!
Thank you for watching.
I just love lemon wine. I backsweeten usually to about 1.010 and its perfect. Great video.
Thank you for sharing.
I’m going yo have to try this myself.
It's all about having fun with the hobby to try out new things.

I've tried and failed at this one more then once. Going to give it another try! Thanks for the inspiration!

does the type of a lemon make much of a difference>
Will make this soon I love your videos, I made skeeter pee which is similar but I use lemon and lime juice and added 5 cups of sugar also to make it sweeter great video

These days in our new house, we're cooking with gas. It's just perfect.
Chokecherry wine making & tasting please!
Thank you for your comment.
Yeah Skeeter Pee is a guzzler that’s why I only ferment it to 10% ABV.
I found that lower ABV in the wines result in better tasting wine.

The short answer is no.
What does it mean to "Back-sweeten" your wine?
Perhaps this video will help: ua-cam.com/video/gOF-VI_oFTk/v-deo.html

Nope!
hi even tho its been a year, I'm asking is it okay if you ONLY ferment it for 14 days? or is it really required? thank you in ad vance

So yeah it's probably fine there might be some sugar left which some people like so if your gonna start clearing and bottling it I'd pasteurize it first if I were you
It would be great if you also mention the Lemon in grams/pounds or lemon juice in ML.
How much kg of sugar??
You'll have to Google that conversion.
Very entertaining 😂
I love you
Ah... okay?
