    I've made some this way. I actually filter the Everclear, through a counter water filter 5 times, prior to adding to the lemons, to smooth it out some. Takes the harsh bite out of the final result and friends like it way more than straight up Everclear.

      What does the filter do to the alcohol strength?

      It’s awesome! Make sure to store it in the freezer prior to the trip and pack it in ice! You’ll definitely like it better. I’m thinking about trying it with oranges…I hope it doesn’t turnout to be glorified Triple Sec.

    My lemon cello was not a bright flavor. I was very careful to do it exactly as you said. But it wasn’t as lemony as it should’ve been. Also a suggestion I used cheese cloth to large cheese cloth quadrupled over as my strainer to make sure I got everything out of the lemons.

    Do you put the vanilla beans in WITH the lemon peels to steep.?

      Yes. Slice one bean length wise and put it in with the lemons right away.

      Typically I’ll use them in cooking for a few days, but if I don’t have plans for them immediately, I’ll juice them and make lemonade.

    So I've been letting it set now for 2 weeks. ( already added sugar and water). Lemon peels have almost lost all their yellow color. Can I stain and bottle a week early?

      It’s really about taste. Give it try and it tastes right, then go for it! I’ve done it in 4 weeks total, I just prefer 6. Let me know how it turns out!

    can you use the lemon juice also?

    • @BogLife
      @BogLife  5 місяців тому

      Adding juice allows for the possibility of spoiling and shorter shelf life. You want the oils on the rind not juice, more intense and lasting flavor.

      Muslin, cheese cloth, what ever you can to make sure all the peels and potential sediment is filtered out.

    I can't find any store that carries Everclear 190 proof; only 120. Will that work as well, and taste as well? What would my ratios be of lemon/alcohol/sugar & water? Thank you!!

    • @BogLife
      @BogLife  2 роки тому

      That’s fine a lot of recipes call for using vodka…I like mine a little stronger. But the ration….if my math is correct about 3/5ths the strength. So it would go down to 3 and 3/5 cups of sugar and 3 and 3/5 cups of water. If it turns out to still be too strong, you can add more at the end…it’s a 1:1 ratio sugar to water.

    • @Mutiny960
      @Mutiny960 5 місяців тому

      A little late reply. But The Vlogger should have done this math for you. 6 Cups Water = 1.41 Liters. Add 1 Liter of Alcohol @ 190 Proof (190 Proof/2 = 95% Alcohol)| (.95/2.41 Liters of Liquid) = .394 ~ .40 or 40% Alcohol. Which *2 = 80 Proof. So it's about the strength of regular Vodka.

      @BogLife  2 роки тому

      Alright, I have a series of questions: at which stage are you getting the white blobs? Is it mold? And when are you putting it in the refrigerator? Typically I let it sit on our counter,covered with a cloth for the steeping. When it’s complete I store it in the freezer.
