Brew #13 Malted Hard Lemonade #3

June 04, 2011

Well got the GF version done in the 6qt Mr. Beer Pilot Keg. I changed up some stuff alittle. Maybe help me see how it looks as far as Hydrometer reading.

Ingredients:

8oz Sorghum Malt Extract (Boil 5.0 min)

8oz GF Maltodextrin (Boil 5.0 min)

8oz Corn Sugar (Boil 5.0 min)

9 oz Lactose (Boil 5.0 min)

5 cans frozen Minute Maid lemonade concentrate (strained)

1 Pkg Red Star Champagne Yeast

Directions:

- Boil 1 quart of filtered water with the Sorghum, maltodextrine, Lactose and sugar to dissolve.

- Place pot in Ice water bath to chill

- Add frozen concentrate to sanitized fermenter.

- Add purified water to 4qt mark

- Add malted Sugar water to fermenter

- Top off to top of '6' (Mr. Beer Pilot Keg)

- Stir well, pitch yeast wait 10 min, stir-stir-stir

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

Now the month wait

OG = 1.132 @ 68*F

FG = 1.038 @ 75*F

ABV = 12.7%

07/04/2011 - Bottled

So diluted with 2 quarts "True Lemon" with Xylitol for sweetness

Bottled into 16 pint bottles hope the ABV is down to about 8%

First Pour

Very light bubbles and slightly tart. I think it is very well balanced Linda thinks it is too tart but but both agree it has some KICK!
