Notes
06-04-2025 @1200
Place 21 l water into FV, add 1/3rd crushed camden tablet
Take out 1l of water and boil, Add
1kg of white can sugar,
1 kg Of Amber soft sugar. (eqautes to 2l)
stir throughly then add back to FV, volume 23l
Place a muslin bag over the top of the FV and leave over night (no need to drop pH of water as limes will acidify the water when added the following day)
07-04-2025 @0900
slice/ zest the skins of 25unwashed unwaxed limes and place in a pasterused muslin bag, do not wash the limes, as I want to utilise the yeast on the skins
remove/ slice off any remainder of the white of the limes and discard
quarter the limes then squeeze the limess in a macerator juicer with 1cm of ginger. throw away the fibre produced (it contributes to bitterness)
Add the 1l of lime juice to the FV
Add some * ginger plant into the muslin bag , then hang the muslin bag of lime zest/ ginger plant inside the FV and secure the string to the outside of the FV with tape
DID NOT ADD YEAST NUTRIENT NOR YEAST i.e. I added yeast for my lemonade last year i.e. 1.5 tsp of yeast nutrient, 0.5 tsp yeast nutrient, 1 tsp of wine yeast (can use champagne yeast)
07-04-2025 @ 1230 OG=1.030, vol 24l
Will take 2-3 days to get started
Should finish at 1.010 ??? (so can RACK AT above that so no need to add priming sugar, so chill, then rack, or no chill and catch it early
