I recon a batch of limenchello

thats alot of lemoncello 8-}
Could try Mac's lemon vodka instead (havent tried it myself but have heard good things) ?

Love it! I've only got a little bit left in my bottle from italy. Reckon I'll have to give it a crack now that my lemons are done.

I've got a heap of lemons too. I was thinking of killing the proverbial two birds. Use the rind for limoncello and the rest of the lemon into the wash for a lemon vodka?

Plan is rind for lemenchello then the rest through the mincer then freeze it till needed

if u freeze the equivalent of 2 to 3 lemons in freezer bags then that is pretty close to the citric you are chasing per wash. A large bunch of lemons is difficult to work with.

That's exactly what I do

Ok. so, how many frozen lemons for a 25 litre wash Ken?

Freeze the lemon peels or the lemon and the juice?

After I get the yellow rind I mince the lemons and put them through a tomato juicer you just get the pulp and juice freeze them in ice block trays 2 in an 80 litre wash
Heres the juicer

Shorty, as Aussie stated, he was going to peel the lemons, use the rind for Limoncello and pulp the flesh. My response was based on this. I did the same over a year ago,and froze the peeled whole lemons. Then just defrosted a couple (for a 25lit wash) and squished them up by hand into the wash. Always worked fine even with some chunky bits in there.
PS... works great with orange peel if you like a Contreau (oops) taste to yr neutral.

Haha cheers. Sorry yesty was a big one and i struggled
