Overview
This video from Rainford's Brew Lab demonstrates how to create a hard lemon soda with an estimated cost of 18 pence per liter. The process involves simple ingredients and fermentation techniques to produce a low-cost alcoholic beverage.
Key takeaways
The recipe aims for an ultra-budget brew, costing approximately 18 pence per liter.
Key ingredients include water, sugar, lemon juice, and yeast.
The process involves dissolving sugar in warm water, adding cold water, lemon juice, and yeast, then allowing it to ferment for 7-10 days.
A hydrometer is used to measure the initial gravity (1.042) and final gravity (around 1.0000), indicating an alcohol content of approximately 5.5-6%.
After fermentation and a cold crash for clarity, the resulting hard lemon soda is described as refreshing, zingy, and dangerously drinkable, with no off-tastes.
