Either very sour or very weak.

I made a batch when I was 16. Couldn't drink it, neither my friends.

Here are Jack Keller's lemon wine recipes.

He has something called "Skeeter Pee" that he says is really good
toward the bottom of this Wine Blog archive page.

Here's a recipe for your lemons. Should taste ok.

You need:
6 medium sized lemons
1/2 lb raisins (225g)
4 lbs sugar (1.8kg)
1 oz dried yeast (30g)
1 gallon of water (4 litres)
(eight or even ten lemons may be used if a stronger taste required)

Method:
Grate all lemons and put them aside. Halve the lemons and squeeze the juice into one gallon of boiling water.
When the water boils again, cut off the heat at once. Pour the hot liquid over the sugar and stir until all the sugar is dissolved.
Cut up the raisins and add these to the liquid. Then add the lemon rind and allow the brew to cool. Sprinkle the yeast on top and stir in. Cover and ferment for 14 days after which you strain and bottle. Leave it for one to three months and enjoy.

Standard is between 68 to 74 degrees F I believe.

Here this recipe they are using the raisins as a nutrient for the yeast. This is technically a fruity Straw Wine.

If you do not want that raisin flavor I would recommend adding Calcium Carbonate to the mix to bring down the acidity so it provides a better environment for the yeast to thrive in.
