I think the vodka version would be just as tasty (and less expensive to make) From the research I did, Italians insist it must be made with grain alcohol and not vodka. There is a really cute video on youtube: <br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeYYyY-jIgY<br /><br />Glad you like my posts, Neo-Homesteading. I've really enjoyed your blog since I found it.

Its good with club soda and jam but woooh is it an instant headache! <br /><br />I love that someones finally touching on homemade wine. I've been meaning to but haven't gotten around to it. Your posts are great I very much appreciated reading them. Home brewing is simple yet rewarding. Its like making bread but its a million times more satisfying since you have to wait for it!Neo-Homesteadinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04688601089663023611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190070010873055877.post-43559284241131935442011-01-17T22:47:37.884-05:002011-01-17T22:47:37.884-05:00I have never had water Kefir before.

It is very strong, but not unpleasantly alcohol-y tasting. <br />I did juice them all on the hand juicer. My mother gave me that juicer as a gift and I really enjoy using it. I probably could have put the lemons through my Champion juicer, but I didn't really think of it at the time.Sharihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00621144313666339643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190070010873055877.post-60430002776578385262011-01-17T07:33:54.621-05:002011-01-17T07:33:54.621-05:00I've never had Limoncello.
