I've made one batch of skeeter pee per the standard recipe. I like it, and there is a light lemon flavor, but I think I would like the next batch to be more lemony and bit sweeter.
How do you suggest doing this?
I think it is hard enough getting a strong lemon/sugar mix to ferment, so is adding more lemon up front an option?
How about when back sweetening? I took several cups of the skeeter pee and warmed it up to dissolve the sugar. I did not boil it when back sweetening. But since I did not add water when back sweetening, it should not have weakened the flavor. Could you mix the sugar for back sweetening with pure realemon and add that to sweeten? but that would lower the ABV unless I add more sugar up front when fermenting to offset the dilution.
making the skeeter pee sweeter should just be adding a bit more sugar when backsweetening, but I am not sure how to make it more lemony.
Any recommendations?
