After about four days the Lemonade hasn't started fermenting reallywell yet. I just put some orange juice concentrate in it last nightand it feels a little bit more pressurized this morning. Weird. Ifit doesn't get better by tomorrow I will put another dose of yeastin it and see what happens. Just giving an update, any ideas on howto speed it up I would appreciate though--- "shaggy_64a" wrote:> Well, I've noticed alot of questions on making a hard lemonade, soI> took the recipe from the Files section and modified it a little> bit.
