)Smelled good while it was bubbling and had a slight lemon smell after the first strip run. Used 100% backset and sugar, pH adjusted and had SG 1.080. Second time it smelled even better in the fermentor and finished in 3 days (added DAP to the second wash). I ran a strip run last night and you can't smell one bit of lemon. Thumbs down on this one for the work involved. What I ended up with was a sugar run that was a lot more work. I'll run the mix and pull the alcohol and make a gin or possibly Absinthe.
During last night's run I pulled out a couple ounces @ about the 63% mark and watered down. MIx with some orange Kool-Aid and I must say this was a nice tasteing little tody. Definetly not the full bodied drink that you sit and sip (a'la Bourbon and the like) but an enjoyable drink all the same. I guess along the lines of a hard lemonade concept.
