    I made 2 batches, 1 was a 100 percent juice and I used 1 and a half cups of sugar and one half tsp. of yeast and it was very good. 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.

    Hey Platt, you should specify that the preservatives that will kill yeast are benzoate and sorbate. Just look at the ingredients list on the package. If there are any others, it will often specify in parenthesis that the ingresient is a preservative.

Still bubbly and not fermented to dryness. I have been meaning to try some ice distilling (not distilling but called that) and fortify a batch with another ice distilled batch. Should push that ABV up way high:)

    Hey Champ! thanks for this! Amazing stuff, for lockdown purposes. Yesterday I setup a gallon with what they call here 50% preservative free grape nectar, 3 cups of sugar and a whole bag of yeast. I fear I might have been overzealous with the yeast though as I had yet to come across this follow up video and figured since you did about half a bag for half a gallon, a full gallon deserved the full beans. What do you reckon? Spoilt batch?

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

      Sounds like it could be a sanitation issue. There is a bacteria known as acetobacter that causes wine to turn to vinegar.

      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.

    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
      @PlattR  4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      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.

    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.

      May I ask how old are you? I’m thinking of making some fruit juice alcohol for the family for fun.
