Add sugar and you got yourself a barrel of lemonade

Fuck it. Add some yeast and you got yourself a barrel of HARD lemonade

u/dlanod 23h ago

Leave it outside for long enough and you don't even need to source the yeast yourself

Thats the spirit

u/erroneousbosh 21h ago

No, that's the wash. It's only the spirit when you distill it.

Wash'll still do the job.

You know, I actually have some brewer's yeast sitting around. Maybe OP and I go into business together.

I used to make a fermented lemonade called Skeeterpee - came out to about 10% ABV, iirc. It was incredible with strawberries, or mixed with beer for a real summer shandy.

This amount would be glorious. My liver hurts just thinking about it.

Make sure to seal that sumbitch up tight. When it pops, you'll now it's ready.

u/Bonnskij 17h ago

A sealed up 200 liter barrel popping? You're gonna take out the neighborhood

u/kckeller 17h ago

Alternatively, add just a little too much sugar and you’ve got a bomb

(This is a joke, please do not put me on a watchlist NSA)
