I threw an unmeasured amount of bread yeast in a bottle of orange juice along with a cup of sugar and after 5 days I got curious and put it in the fridge for a day. I then poured it slowly into a glass, added some sugar, and HELLO screwdriver... I ended up drinking ALL of it, got hammered, no hangover, and no issues with gas. Tasted fine, even good I would say, seeing as I usually drink hard liquor and this just tasted like vodka and orange juice. I'm going to start experimenting with different juices, yeasts and longer fermentations etc. Thank you for showing us this. I'm blown away nobody told me about this my entire life.

I just started this today. 100% grape juice. 1 cup of sugar and about half a packet of dry yeast. Just so I have it correct. Leave the cap on loose so it doesn't explode. Let it ferment for 15 days. Pour it through a coffee filter into another container. Seal that container and put into the fridge and drink within a few days?

@PlattR 3 года назад

@zekiah2 4 года назад

Lately I have been using freezing cycles to stop the fermentation and I have noticed that the gas problem has mostly gone away. This also seemed to help with getting everything settled for easy decanting. Also I have been experimenting with slightly diluting the cans of apple concentrate to produce high alcohol content hard cider that still has a distinctly apple taste instead of the harsh taste the sugar seems to give cider. Also apple jack and coke is my new favorite drink. Who would have thunk that apple and coke is a good flavor combo.

@zekiah2 3 года назад

@Aristides Gonzalez don’t bother with this. It turns out that the freezing does not help much with the bubble gut situation. The best thing to do is to properly de-gass (shake or vigorously stir the decanted product) and make sure the fermentation is completely finished ( either let the juice sit until all the yeast is dead [could take 1-3weeks after fermentation is done] or buy and use the tablets that end the fermentation for you) If you do those two things you should not get bubble gut. Don’t bother freezing your home made wine or cider unless you are making Apple jack Apple jack is great

@feargripper 3 года назад

I’ve been using your recipe scaled up too a full gallon, and it works oddly well. Instead of using dried fruits as a yeast catalyst I heard others use it as simply more flavoring and a more complex/difficult sugar (fructose) to break down for the yeast. I personally have been using dried cranberries and you can see the yeast exhale off a bunch of CO2 when I add them into the fermentation while the cranberries rehydrate completely. I’ve seen yeast experiments where pure cane sugar has a massive explosion in fermentation but quickly falls off so I have reason to believe that fruits help round off the amount of cane sugar added. This is so much cheaper than buying alcohol at the store, thanks for your original video!

@PlattR 3 года назад

Thanks for the view. Cane sugar is a simpler sugar that fructose so it get used up first. if dealing with a difficult sugar, you can use yeast nutrient to helps the yeast worth through that sugar.

@TheWoody0007 Месяц назад

hello platt, thank you for making this guide. with the 2nd stage of fermentation, i want to just make sure, you decant the original container (7 day period), then with the wine out of th original container, you clean out the original container and remove the yeast on the bottom or use a new one (after it has been sanitized) and you put the wine back into the original container (or new) for whatever amount of time you desire, also, would you want to loosen the cap like you did in the first stage of fermentation, thanks again platt

Thats sound about right. You want to remove the dead yeast before it starts to breakdown and effect the flavor. You still want to loosen the cap because fermentation is still active.

I was thinking about making hard cider by following a recipe I found on the internet and I was wondering could there be any chance that the 1gallon glass bottle for wine making would explode in the middle of fermentation even if I'd use an airlock? Because this accident happened to my friend but instead it was a plastic container for wine making and it exploded all over the kitchen. He believed the airlock was too slow to keep up but he's not too sure since he's a beginner at this kind of stuff too.

When yeast produces alcohol, its also produces CO2. This gas sometime gets trapped in the wine. You end up with a case of bubble gut. You can degas your wine to avoid bubbles. Here is my video on the topic: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Cpqa1edfIE0.html

Found out a peculiar combination of sugar that made the “hooch” much more sweet to the taste. I didn’t measure it though which I’m kicking myself in the butt for, and rapid rise yeast. The sugars that I used was powdered sugar and then granulated sugar. The taste was extremely good, however I was not able to check APV. I do know it was really potent due to the fact I’m an avid alcohol drinker. It was smooth and tasty. I’m not sure if because of using powdered sugar the yeast had an easier time to convert it or not.

How long does it take for it to turn into vinegar?

@PlattR 4 года назад

If your juice got infected by outside bacteria, it could turn to vinegar in a matter of a couple of days.

@darnelltate4991 2 года назад

If I make it with something that is 100% juice but not necessarily FRUIT juice will that ruin it?

@PlattR 2 года назад

As long as there are no preservatives, you should be fine.

@SergeantG18C 2 года назад

How do you prevent it from turning into vinegar?

@PlattR 2 года назад

first you want to make sure you keep your hands and other surfaces clean. Also, you don't want to open it too much because that exposes it possible contamination.

@gremlinbros1612 Год назад

Mine smells bad it has this weird smell is this normal during the fermentation process?

@PlattR Год назад

Yeah, the smell will be a little funky.

@Mensetcor 4 года назад

Any chance that heating it to 70C after straining keeps it from make you fart and turn into vinegar?

@PlattR 4 года назад

If its turned to vinegar, you just need to toss it. As far as the farting thing, put it in the fridge for a day or so and that will stop yeast activity which helps cause gas.

@TheFXofNewton 3 года назад

Yes wine is still commonly pasteurized to halt fermentation. Although many winemakers just use preservatives to prevent their wines from souring.

So ive let it do its thing for 7 days now it smelled more before, it was a very yeasty and alcoholic smell now its more subtle and unpleasant, and i also hear some fizzing when putting my ear to the juice box. Is it good to drink now or do i need another 3 days?

@PlattR Год назад

If it is still fizzing, I would give it another day or two.

pretty much. Not quite as active, less bubbles.

@rigor.mortiss6321 2 года назад

I did the original recipe in your first video using apple juice/cider. 1 cup of sugar and about a third of a packet of yeast. (Which I now know is too much yeast, LMAO) After the first 24 hours, it was bubbling, but I decided I was going to experiment and added 1 extra tsp. of sugar. The idea was to see if I could speed up fermentation by introducing new sugar every day in small amounts. It fizzed up very badly and overflowed. It's still bubbling, but not as vigorously as it was on day 1. Today is day 3. I'm afraid I might have fucked it up. Do you have any experience with this happening?

@PlattR 2 года назад

You should be fine but adding sugar won't speed up the fermentation process. It might bump up the ABV a little bit. If you add too much sugar it will overload the yeast. Just let it do it thing for the next week or so and you should be fine.

@dorvil8994 3 года назад

i didnt realize it was 17 percent juice until after i started. will this work still? i dont care about the taste

@PlattR 4 года назад

The best answer I have for you is maybe. It depends on the preservatives that are in the juice. I would still give it a shot if you not worried about having to dump it if it doesn't work.

That's why I ferment inside the bottle instead of pour into another container to ferment, the bottles were sanitized when they put the juice in. That helps prevent mold.

How do you decant it

@PlattR 3 года назад

Decant means to carefully pour the liquid from the first container into another container while leaving the dead yeast on the bottom of the first container.

@SombreroPharoah 3 года назад

You can also siphon it with some cloth around the end of the pipe to filter the yeast, but if pikeying the siphon try not to use your mouth. I used a Dr's blood pressure toy from my niece and converted it years ago, and still have it tbf. Occasionally yes will use it still, why not, it's fun and agregiously coloured lol
