My wife prefers the Key lime/lemon skeeter pee to the Cherry version. She likes cherry limeade so that was my goal. However, she is happy with the lime so "if it ain't broke don't fix it."

Sg was 1.016. Wife says it's a little to tart. I added one ounce of sugar which should bring sg up to 1.019.

I had a batch of Skeeter Pee that I made with 32 oz Key lime juice and 64 oz lemon juice. I added 32 oz Knudsen Just black cherry to a gallon jug and topped up with unsweeted SP. SG should be 1.016 but I haven't checked yet. It is really dark. The rest of the batch got regular back...

I was thinking 1/6 concord. 10 cans niagara, 2 cans concord, top up to 6.25 gallons, sugar to 1.095, premier cuvee yeast.

I'm wanting to make a niagara/concord. I was wondering if you went 50/50. I'll probably go lighter on the concord. I want more of a blush. I've made the niagara and it is great. Thanks for the info.

What recipe did you use?

RW Knudsen black cherry is at my Walmart $3.88 for 32 oz. Please keep us up to date on this one.

I've heard of that brand. I'll be on the look out. Thanks. Yeah, apple juice is much cheaper so they cut the cherry with it.

Thanks for the info....although it'll be no help to me. There are no Stop & Shop stores in my area.

What brand of cherry juice did you use?

Does it taste anything like cherry limeade?

I use nutrient and energizer. I start mine with no juice and then add them after fermentation is well under way. A bottle at a time. I try to have the last one added before my gravity drops below 1.030. That way the pee gets one last whisk before it goes under the airlock. My latest batch...

Kampo, I was reading your thread at HBT and searching here found you again. I'm thinking of doing the same thing. However, it would be even better to soak the orange zest in Tequila. Did you end up making this?

Did you decarb before checking the gravity of your Mike's? If it wasn't still then the CO2 coming out of solution would have pushed the hydrometer up making it read higher.

Sorry, I assumed you were the same Yooper from over there.
