Today's Experiment... FAILED
Okay, so I think we'll call that recipe 'Lemon Bitters', or maybe 'Lemon Near-Beer'. Lauren thinks it tastes like beer, and that it would be better simply as a citrus soda without the hops and with a little more honey. Fair enough. Not great, but if you like beer... problem is, I don't.
Still, no reason to be discouraged. I knew I was off the books with this one, and I'm only out a few bucks in ingredients - all my equipment is reusable, lucky me. plus, all my sanitizing and carbonating went great, so even if my recipe isn't what I was hoping, or even close to what I was expecting, I learned stuff and am better prepared to try another batch.
I'm planning on going all 'Mad Scientist' in the kitchen again tonight...
