So I'm planning on putting on a gallon of hard lemonade sometime this week. I've found some recipes which look good which I will be working off.
However, I would quite like to try a hard PINK lemonade, as I absolutely love it in its non-alcoholic form. The recipe for the hard lemonade (No pink) is as such:
0.55L of lemon juice
360g white sugar
Half-teaspoon yeast nutrient
1/5th teaspoon yeast "energiser" (Is this necessary?)
Water until solution is up to a volume of 4.5L
Now, to pink-up this lemonade I'm thinking of just adding pure raspberry juice, but I have a few questions.
What volume of raspberry juice do you think would be adequate?
Should I be replacing water or lemon juice when adding raspberry juice? As in; if I add 250ml of raspberry, should I then be adding less water, or less lemon juice?
Would there be any benefit in adding the raspberry in secondary fermentation, or should I just do it all in primary?
With the addition of raspberry to the brew, is there anything else that needs to be added to ensure a good and thorough fermentation?
I am going to back-sweeten with erythritol and am going to bottle carbonate.
Thanks guys.
