Notes

Ingredients:
- 8 cups (packed) dandelion petals (removed from green flower head)
- 2 gallons water (added 1 gallon distilled water after chilling to reduce SG)
- 5 lbs Table Sugar
- 1 cup chopped raisins
- 1 TB Lemon Juice (balance)
- 3 packs 71-B yeast
- 1/2 campden tablet

Process: Brought 2 gallons of water and sugar to a boil and boiled 15 minutes. Cut the heat and added the dandelion petals and steeped for 30 minutes before cooling in a water bath to 75 degrees. Scooped out dandelion petals with a slotted spoon and strained the rest into a bucket through a sieve. Checked gravity and it was way too high, so I cut it with around a gallon of distilled water. Filled 1x1 gallon growler & 3x64oz growlers, leaving a little headspace, and topped with sanitized aluminum foil to allow CO2 to escape. Left in basement to ferment in the mid 60's. Brought upstairs after a few days to finish out fermentation.
