I make hard lemonaid every spring but I have never made it EZ Caps. I buy lemon juice by the gallon and yes it is full of preservatives. To make it fermentable simply boil it. After boiling the juice let it cool then put it in a bottle and shake it hard to release any sulfer gas that may still be in it. I mix the lemon juice as directed for making lemon aide except I use a hydromiter to add suger to make the projectel alcohol level 17-18%. This leaves the finished product semi sweet. since the yeast will be completely dead after this fermentation (due to high finished alcohol level) you can back sweeten without the risk of "bottle go boom" syndrome.
I lost my EZ Caps kit in a move a few years ago but I am ordering a new one now. The first thing I'm going to make is a hard lemon aide with high bubble content.
