Hi everyone! I'm getting ready to back sweeten my first batch of SP. I used malt in mine to try to get it to taste more like Mike's Cranberry Lemonade. I used 7 cans of frozen lemonade and 3 cranberry.. Sugar and malt. It tastes pretty good but it's quite bitter at an SG of 1.000. I tested the SG of a Mikes Cranberry last night and it was at 1.035. I plan on kegging this and charging it with C02. First off would you recommend that I back sweeten with corn sugar or would you recommend I use more of the frozen concentrate? Is 1.035 a good sg to shoot for since that's what the Mikes is? Seems like a lot of people sweeten it to 10.10 from what I have read. Will the flavor change much once it's charged with C02? Also in comparison Mikes was quite tangy.. It has a bit of snap to it where mine was pretty dull. Has anyone ever played around by adding some acid blend to it to get a little more zing? Thanks for any thoughts!
