Thank you for your willingness to take one for the team, making the choice so we don’t have to. In one of your videos you called a chemicals-laden concoction that could just as well have emanated from a mad scientist’s lab a ‘Franken-brew.” I think this one just about hits the requirements for that moniker. This must be the first ever brew from your channel that isn’t ever going to hit my ‘to brew’ list. Congratulations for doing it and keeping me from ever considering it. I’d rather make a kilju and dump some flavourings in. The entire video had me chuckling though. And oh my stars and garters, the colour of that stuff! It’s almost radioactive! Using DAP: it never ceases to amaze me how much DAP some people chuck into their fermenters. I do have some (part of a brewing kit I’ve won). If I ever consider using it my precision scale would come out. Maybe it’s because as a European I’m used to weighing ingredients instead of using volumes. Maybe it’s because I’m an avid baker. Maybe it’s because I’m from a family that mainly consists of science nerds. I weigh stuff. When my regular scales don’t cut it, my precision scales are my next move. The smallest unit mine can measure is 2/100ths of a gram. Somehow that makes me happy. It certainly makes conversions easier when I’m working off a recipe for 5 US gallons and my batch is one gallon. Or when I’m reading up on research and the figures I get state an amount in grams per 25 litres, grams per 100 litres etc. I guess after reading this, people will understand why I often say I go through life celebrating my weirdness. 😂

The Kool aid with the sugar has more stuff in it. Your better off using all fresh sugar and the flavor packet with no sugar. Plus flavor aid brand mix tends to work slightly better. Personally I use a little hot water in beginning to melt everything better... Over all I like both ways but tend to get slightly better results and higher abv's by making a high abv water wine and adding the no sugar added flavor packet after the fact... But hey that's just my experience with it. No offense to anyone

Now this, on ice, sounds like what I would want on a hot summer afternoon 👍. I also grew up on Kool aid and remember dipping a wet plastic spoon in the powder and seeing who could keep a straight face 😂. I think I'd stick closer to the two quart(x2) amount, a whole bottle of mix in one gallon seems like a bit much flavor 😁. Keep up the great suggestions, we're loving it 👍❤️🙏 BTW, kilju wine finally finished on June 22 at 11.47 abv. (Started 6/11/23, at 1.095sg, ended 6/22/23 at 1.010sg, in 7/8 gallon batch). I used red star premiere classique yeast and added extra yeast hulls on the 14th because I didn't see any activity. I also shook the bajesus out of it every three days or so ( yes, I've got a bunch of slow relaxing retirement days 😁). I really think keeping it degassed did a lot to keep it fermenting nicely. The taste straight up is almost like watered down vanilla icing and a bite of alcohol, so I added three drops of starburst water sweetener, and I think I got drunk. I remember making the second one 😅 but my wife says I had at least four six ounce glasses. Thanks again for all of your great videos 👍🙏❤️

If you want to make fun easy hooch, try 14.1oz Zuko packets ($2.48 locally) and Arizona drinks in 1 gallon jugs ($3.48 locally), most don't seem to have preservatives and the jugs are pretty heavy duty and work for primary fermentation by cracking the lid just slightly so air can escape. Pour out about 1.5 cups out of the jug and put in all 14.1oz of the Zuko packet and some yeast that can tolerate high alcohol with low nutrient like 71B, EC1118, distillers active dry yeast, or if you don't have any other option Fleischmann's, although the end result will be pretty sweet. Mucho Mango combined with Zuko Pineapple or Mango is one of my favorites.

Just a small comment before watching the whole video so I might have to edit it. LOL. I have successfully fermented juice with BHA in it before. Time cures all ( at least in my case ). It sat for about a month and didn't do much of anything. Then in the 5th week it took off with a ferocity that caused me to have to put a blow off tube on it. My theory ( no proof ) is that BHA is to preserve it on the shelf and once it is opened and mixed it starts losing it's potency. Similar to how chlorine will evaporate from tap water that just sits out for a while. It took a while but turned out to be one of my best wines in the end. In case anyone is wondering it was V8 Splash Blue Razzberry.

I was inspired (humored) by this and my adult son who loves lemon-lime Gatorade. So I made a kilju (CitySteading stylish) with 2 lime and 2 lemon peels. Fermented to dry, ABV 13%, and back sweetened with about a lb of lemon-lime Gatorade powder. The result (still v. young) tastes too limey to be confused with Gatorade. Not …horrible. May soften in time. Tempted to have another go at it, (but lighter on the peels), since I got no other use for the rest of the powder. Plus… it’s silly and fun! 😂🎉
