Hard Lemonade (Part 2) | Racking, Sweetening, & Bottle Carbonation, Explained

In the second and final part of our "How to Make Hard Lemonade" series, Sarah and I explain how to rack out of primary fermentation using an auto-siphon, how to properly sweeten hard lemonade, and how to carbonate your drink, should you want to. We also laugh a lot along the way.

I think Sara got a little buzzed during the sampling 👯😂

It is possible 😂

Yeah, you two are fun. I thoroughly enjoyed this, after just watching the first half of it accidentally. I've been watching fermenting and distilling videos for a bit now, and you haven't come on my radar.
I look forward to watching more.

You must tell Sarah if shes in RSA again/finally ( spefically in cape town😅 ) she must hit me up 😂🖒& unfortunately my fav. band is ColdPlay 😥😅✊

[@MilesKDonahue]

Haha I’ll let her know

[@jasonmoore3980]

This is dope. Very informative. I use Erythritol for all my "backsweetening" for my meads and such. I'll definitely have to try this sometime soon.

[@MilesKDonahue]

It’s good stuff! I’m trying to see how it compares to real sugar based sweeteners. So far it has lived up to its reputation of being comparable to real sugar.

[@sarahking8143]

You’re just fabulous

[@MilesKDonahue]

No, that’s you

As someone who has made Mead for years, this is ridiculous and full of errors and really stupid techniques.
