Re: [E-Z-Caps] Re: Hard Lemonade Experiment - yahoo - 04-17-2004
If you are interested in speeding up the process withoutusing all your yeast I recommend that you make a yeast "starter" by adding adose or two of yeast to a 1/4 cup of tepid water with 1 or tsp of sugar.Let that sit for an hour before adding to the EZ Caps yeast. The yeast willmultiply a few (million?) times, giving you a good head start.It's also a good technique to use for beginning difficult fermentations likecitrus juices.At 12:51 PM 4/17/2004 +0000, you wrote:>After about four days the Lemonade hasn't started fermenting really>well yet.
