| Jul 13, 2017 at 16:04 | comment | added | Sixtease | I found this Q&A trying to figure out how it's possible that my lemon juice started to ferment. Looks like a rare quirk of randomness. I pressed a lemon from the supermarket into a small glass bottle and put it into the fridge. Now, a week later, I opened it and I noticed it's a very tasty and good smelling fermenting fluid. :-) | |

| Mar 8, 2012 at 17:32 | comment | added | MStodd | @Graham There's not a lot of tradition, but people are doing it. If you can get your hands on Sand Creek's hard lemonade, give it a try. Orange juice just doesn't fall into fermenting naturally: you don't use the skins to gather the juice (unlike grape juice or apple cider); and it's drinkable on it's own (unlike lemon juice); and it's not already a typical summertime beverage (lemonade) | |

And I live in Florida, so if there was any way of creating decent booze from oranges, someone down here would have done it decades ago. | |
| Mar 7, 2012 at 6:40 | comment | added | MStodd | @FrustratedWithFormsDesigner By 'mash' I meant the ingredients you listed. Perhaps that's not a real mash, but I don't know what else to call it. Here's one recipe: forum.northernbrewer.com/viewtopic.php?t=56697. couldn't tell if Tobias was serious, and if the upvoters were serious... I'm trying to make something like Sand Creek hard lemonade or (ugh) Mikes | |

| Mar 7, 2012 at 3:11 | comment | added | brewchez | Well you won't be building a mash of any sort. All the hard lemonade recipes I have seen are basically lemonade concentrate, sugar, water and yeast. No mashing of grains needed. | |
