The 2nd batch was a juice cocktail and I used 1cup of sugar and a half tsp. of yeast and also turned out very good. I left both jugs for 4 weeks without looking at it and cap was loose to let gases escape I will do more of this in the future.

Sounds like it could be a sanitation issue. There is a bacteria known as acetobacter that causes wine to turn to vinegar. Unfortunately its everywhere but proper sanitation can reduce the odds of it getting in your wine.

The Raisin thing will work, but there's a 50% chance you will end up with vinegar. If you do end up with "wine", though, don't be looking for a quick buzz; with such a light yeast bill, you're looking at 2-3 % ABV. So use yeast, if you want an enjoyable drink. Hell, spend two bucks on a homebrewer site and but some Wine Yeast. Just add more sugar. Protip: also, throw in another 99 cents and get a proper airlock. Great Channel, Platt.

Great video. I know you mentioned allowing it to exhaust.. do you also let it exhaust for the 3 weeks or tighten the lid at some point? Also, is it better to strain with like a cheese cloth to filter the remaining yeast?

@PlattR Жыл бұрын

Keep the lid loose during fermentation. When done, put it in the fridge. That will stop yeast activity and then you can tighten the lid. Cheese cloth works great.

Decided to do this with 2 liter apple and mango juice, 1 1/2 cup of sugar and 4-5 grams of yeast I'll give an update in about a week Results: opened it up and filtered it through a cloth wich worked very well taste test was good tasted nice and could taste a little alcohol. Don’t know if this was the yeast I used but the sweetness overpowered the yeast I don’t think I let it ferment long enough but after drinking the whole 2 litres I was only a little drunk so next time I try it I will let it ferment longer and if I can buy some turbo yeast

Go easy on the cinnamon and nutmeg, they are potent spices. Adding honey adds fermentable sugars to your cider but honey take longer to ferment. Most meads take months to ferment.

Hi, I saw your other video on homebrewing safety, but I'm really worried about botulism after what I've read. I used pineapple juice (from a carton, not a plastic bottle or a can), and the yeast in my drink has stopped bubbling on day 4 (now just to leave it to ferment until day 7) and it's in an airtight bottle. On day 1 it was in a regular bottle with the cap loose, but I moved it to an airtight bottle to not allow air in. I'm really concerned about getting botulism from this, what are the chances of that happening, and how can I tell if my drink would give me botulism?

@PlattR 4 жыл бұрын

Botulism is a bigger concern with canned juices. Botulism thrives in a low oxygen setting. You don't want to leave the container air-tight. You need to release the CO2 being produced. I don't know of any test for botulism.

Another tip if you don’t mind spending just a little more - go to a brewery shop and get Nottingham yeast. It’s an English beer yeast, and it will give you a bit more alcohol than bread yeast, but what makes it worth it IMHO is the fact it flocculates (settles out of suspension) very well and if you chill it for 24 hours, the yeast at the bottom will stick together better, so you get more of your drinkable product in the end. Anyone that really wants a high ABV can always use champagne yeast, BUT not only does it strip more flavor out of the final product, but the fermentation is so vigorous that you need a bigger bottle AND will probably _have_ to keep it chilled during active fermentation so’s it doesn’t produce fusel alcohols, which taste nasty.

Not necessarily, everybody's reaction to yeast is different. Also, if you used too much yeast or when drinking you consumed a lot of the yeast from the bottom, that could be the issue. In the video I suggest that you decant or pour into another the wine and be sure to leave the settled yeast on the bottom.

My family makes wine in a traditional Azorean way and I don't think we let any air out whatsoever we close the barrels but every now and then open them to let it breathe. We also don't use yeast... I don't even know what that is but I assume is what makes the fermentation happen. So if that is it then the own grapes have it that's why we don't use. Good video though and I guess I'll try that process out of curiosity

One of the comments on the last video said something about freezing it, scraping off the top layer, and freezing it again and again which will somehow make the alcohol content higher, which seemed strange but then again I don't have the slightest clue about any of this, so I was just wondering if there was any truth to it?

@PlattR 5 жыл бұрын

There is a concept called "freeze distillation" where you would take an alcoholic beverage like wine or cider and through it in the freezer. Once the ice starts to form, you would remove it. Since alcohol freezes at a lower temperature that water, you would be removing water and not alcohol. If you cut the volume be half you would be conceptually double the ABV.
