I have been wanting to try a batch of this stuff for a while and finally got around to picking up the real-lemon etc, so im giving it a try.
Initially I only added 1 bottle of lemon, with the plan of adding the rest slowly
once it got going......... but it seemed to be very slow fermenting and I did not
want to risk it stopping completely so I decided to add a slurry. The only batch I had going was a Red Pinot Noir which had just finished, so I racked it and added the slurry to the Pee. Of course its now a lovely shade of purple
I checked on it this morning and its now fermenting at full speed !
Im guessing most of the color will drop out during clearing ?
I will try another batch in a few weeks if this one goes ok and tastes good, but use a slurry from something white.
Anyone else used a slurry from a Red ? does the color settle out ?
