I had been reading up on this forum and I read that lemonade was hard to ferment because of the preservatives. At the store today I came across a cheap (3 for $5) bottle of lemonade that said it was 100% juice no preservatives. Do you think this will work to make hard lemonade? If so, do you guys have any recipes? I also bought cherry-apple juice and some apple cider to use once I get my ez caps in the mail. All of the juices said the juice was from concentrate. I hope the lemonade will work. It would be an easy, cheap way to make it.

The caps are all puffed and split in the middle and the bottles are pressured. The only one that seems to foam on the top is the lemonade one, but the cap is split and all. So, I hope the lemonade will work. It certainly seems like it is going to, but the bubbles don't seem to be going yet. I added a bit more sugar and yeast and I shook the bottle to get everything mixed. The cap is no longer spilt but I expect it will be tomorrow. I really hope so. Do you think I should do something else or just let it try and do it's thing. I have all the bottles covered with a blanket and a heating pad place in between the bottles.
