Spare lemons

[Fin420]

Hi all

After stocking up on lemons to make elderflower wine I've found myself with about a carrier bags worth of spare lemons, any ideas on lemon heavy recipes to use them up? I would say lemon aid/wine but I've already got a gallon of the stuff clearing atm.

Cheers

why not make some ginger beer ?

ginger is inexpensive, but finding cream of tartar powder could be dificult unless you have a baking section at a local store

if you want ill report back as to how my fiery ginger beer is coming along 2moz as im going to transfer it from the primary fermenter to a king keg

How about Lemon Wine?

1 gallon Dry Lemon wine:

8 lemons
250g sultanas ( or white grape juice)
1 tsp pectolase 1.2kg sugar ( 1kg would do)
1 tsp nutrient
Yeast

Sweet:

10 lemons & 1.6 kg sugar, 500g sultanas, suggest high abv. yeast for this one.

Juice all lemons, chop all sultanas, 1 camden leave must for day, disolve sugar in boiling water and pour over must when cool add yeast, pectolase and nutrient, rack off must after 7 days and top up, leave until complete 0.990 dry, > 1 for sweet or medium.

I've just today bottled a quick throw together lemon, lime and white grape wine, lol one thing i will be using it for if it turns out to be to rough is using it to swish round my FV's/king keg to remove beer/hop odours which it seemed to be good at.

It's Sunday. Roast chicken day..? You could shove a couple up the bird's jacksee and make a nice lemon posset for afters. Then if there's any left, slice up for freezing or adding to G & T.
