I haven't thought of doing that, and I just put another dose of
yeast in being impatient like I always am. If I don't get any
results my way do you think it would hurt the lemonade to put
a "starter" in plus the 2 double doses of yeast? I don't wanna
waste all my yeast, I know it's kinda reuseable, but I don't want it
to take off and be really strong. One more question, how long
should I let it clarify to "reclaim" the most yeast from the mix?
