    Limoncello, take 2

    I understand the making of the simple syrup. But how do you determine amount of syrup added to arrive at 30%. Here is 3 bottles we brought back from last trip to Italy and the infusion I started yesterday.

    Limoncello, take 2

    Found this tread this morning and went out and found a bottle of 150 EC and 14 organic lemons. Zested lemons and got them infusing. What I’m asking is since this looks like 1/3 of his recipe what amount of syrup would you Putin to cut to 30% or what would give 25%. Thanks for any help

    Old school Dandelion Wine

    Yes. You have to use nothing but the yellow fluff. This old recipe for a 5 gal batch called for about 4 gal of fluff. I usually made a 3 gal batch with about 2 1/2 gal of fluff. A one gal batch should work with a gallon. It’s a lot of dandelion yellow fluff but it’s worth it.

    Old school Dandelion Wine

    I just joined this website and found this.. I know it’s a year old but thought I would reply. I have my old recipe from 40 years ago. I would make it every year. If anyone would ask what it tastes like I would say. “It tastes like liquid sunshine”. I loved it. I still have the info.
