My wife and I are getting ready to bottle our first batch of Sketter Pee. It's been in the carboy about two months now. We recently added the two cups of sugar you are suppose to add before bottling. It taste okay but we were surprised at how little lemon flavor there is. Is this normal? Has anyone ever added more lemon juice at this point to bring out the lemon flavor? If so how did it turn out?
I'm a little worried that there might be something a little off. It fermented fine but took a long time to clear even though we followed the recipe and used Sparkolloid as directed. It started clearing pretty fast but then started to develop little white stringy things that were about 1/4" to 3/8" long and hung down vertically. They didn't appear to be mold or anything growing. They looked more like little white strings of coagulated material. These eventually settled out after about 6 weeks and left the SP a beautiful very light yellow. We filtered it just to be safe. It doesn't have any off flavors that I can detect. It just seems pretty bland. Any ideas?
