8oz GF Maltodextrin (Boil 5.0 min)

8oz Corn Sugar (Boil 5.0 min)

5oz Lactose

4 cans frozen Minute Maid lemonade concentrate (strained)

1 Pkg Red Star Champagne Yeast

- Stir well, pitch yeast wait 8 min, stir-stir-stir

- seal and place sanitized fementor lock on top and fill just below line on lock

Now the 14-21 day wait

The only problem was I made the mix a little cooler than I wanted, it was 62* at pitch time, I was shooting for 70*OG

OG = 1.102 @ 62*

FG = 1.089 @ 68*

Bottled March 12, 2001 - Stupid rookie mistake by me (Batch Primed)

April 8, 2011 - First Bottle BOMB!!! (due to rookie mistake of bottle when still fermenting)

~This was the 12oz capped tester, I vented the twelve Grosch bottles to avoid more bombs
