Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 I use 3-5 blossoms per 1/2 gallon and leave it set for at least 24 hrs before drinking. Hi Zoe, Can you tell us how much you use and to what size container you add it to? Many thanks, Sunny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Yes, I let it ferment for at least 2 more days. I actually leave my bottles in the cupboard until I know I will be drinking them and then refrigerate, but I go through them so quickly they usually don't sit out for more than a week. Many people recommend refrigerating them after the second ferment of 2 to 3 days to avoid any kind of explosion, but I have never had one, the most I have had was upon opening a bottle it fizzed over a bit. Anyway, hope that helps!! > > Lydia, > > Your procedure is very helpful, thank you!
