lemonade and light

[melbourne man]

does light have any ill efefct on lemonade or can it be safely stored in clear bottles such as corona or boags st george.

i have only had one bottle of beer that was ruined by the light and it tasted like crap. it had a slight rotten egg taste and lost all its good flavours.

Should be OK, as it's the hop oils that are destroyed by light, and I sincerely hope you don't have any hops in your lemonade!

[melbourne man]

what about softdrink bottles? will they loose carbonation or should they be alright too?

[rwh]

Probably OK, though they do allow some gas exchange (i.e. 02 and CO2). If you drink em within 6 months or so you should be right.

Light is no drama. I fermented mine outside in sunlight. And the softdrink bottles do a good job.
