Skeeter Pee – How to make Lemon Wine
This is how I made Skeeter Pee. Skeeter Pee is a lemon wine that is fermented with a "Slurry" from the first rackings of a batch of wine. I dont make wine so Im going to show you how Ive made my Skeeter Pee by making a small starter. For the whole recipe please visit www.skeeterpee.com Also check out the creator of this drink on youtube. www.youtube.com

This is a fantastic video. Cheers!
@steve45ca Awesome. Thanks for the shoutout.
your video inspired my video response and a shout out to you Fo….. =]
@gordonrussner Invert sugar is what you get when you add the lemon juice to the sugar water and heat it on the stove. Well I guess if you sweetened with Splenda and then just added enough REAL sugar to bottle prime that could work. But it would leave a sediment in the bottle. But who cares? Sounds like a good idea.
@weirdbeer my point was to let you wine ferment out and most of the yeast settle out (3 -4 weeks)and then sweeten with stevia or splenda and bottle prime i have do this with cranberry juice. And invert sugar ???????? whats that
@weirdbeer
Thanks for the response, I really like your videos.
@halbibabe Well if it has no preservatives then I don’t think you would need to let it sit. Buckets are fine. Good luck!
Hey FO, I’m going to try this skitter pee. I’m going to use lemon juice that I got from mybrands.com. This juice has no preservatives, or the lemon oil. You can get this juice at some Costcos also. Do I need to let it sit for 48 hours since there are no preservatives in the juice? Also all I have is bucket firmenters, is this ok?
@evantjacksonify nope. Thats the original recipe. The point is because there is no nutrients at all in the lemon juice, and its so acidic the yeast would get stresses out. The late addition of nutrients prevents the drink from stressing out the yeast and developing a sulphur smell taste. Yuck!
@flyingman1981 It will be a hit. Trust me. To bad winter is coming.
@conduct623 Do it!
@angryabbeybrew It would be good to hear how your Pee differs when using a slurry vs a starter. Let us know.
@yartp Nope. I used teaspoons. At least my teaspoons. I have bigger spoons I use as Tablespoons so that was the smaller one.
@OscarSnerd Good info. Thanks.
@mbcyclery You got it!
9.7% projected abv… hmm.
I’ve seen the stuff mentioned on the forums but never researched it. Does sound interesting and was a good video. I did notice when you added the tannin and nutrient, you listed it in teaspoons. It looked like you were actually using tablespoons.
Great job Fo, will defenitly try this, Cheers.
Verry cool FO I will defenetly try it !!
@n2prs Due to how much sugar is in this recipe you could make bottle bombs. Be careful before you try something like that please. PLASTIC ONLY! In fact. Don’t do it at all. I’m 99% sure you will get bottle bombs.
@yaap10 Another good idea. Thanks. I just hate splenda in my coffee. So I’m not sure how it would turn out in this. Have you tried it?
i would not worry about it being clear and carbonate it.
Nice vid fo when adding the sugar to sweeten if your worried about kickstarting fermentation you could use splenda a non fermentable sugar I often use this in some wines about 2-3 tea spoons per bottle
@CraigTube Hey Craig. The batch costs $15 – $20. I got the yeast Energizer, Nutrient, and Stabalizer, at complete home brewing. Cheers!
