How to make Inmate Brew (Must be of drinking age)

- Опубликовано: 9 сен 2024
- If you've got some juice, bread, and a toilet, even in jail you can have a night cap. Luckily, I have slightly more modern facilities, so in this video, I'll teach you how to take some plain old juice and turn it into wine, using stuff you can get at the supermarket.
The legal drinking age in the UK is 5. So I think I'm fine :D
Makes sense, your politicians are straight up pedo's!
@@Monster18.1 how are they pedos for that Dumbass??
Hey I watch you!

I currently have my first ever batch brewing right now. 100% organic grape juice, 1 cup of table sugar, half a packet of red star baking yeast, boiled raisin juice for nutrient, and the tube into water bottle airlock. It took 24 hours for it to start fermenting, but low and behold it's bubbling mad! Your videos have sparked a new hobby for me, just ordered all kinds of goodies for my future brew! Thanks alot and cheers!!!
Craig, I'm a 13 year Convict been out almost a year. Your video on Prison Brew is on the money. You did a great job. I'm still brewing even though I'm out and the hooch is even better. Thanks for the helpful video. You are the man
How to get drunk on food stamps.
The Original Gamer hahaha ikr
Pretty true since its hard for released inmates to find and qualify for a job and usually resort to foodstamps.
@@danishbutter1847 They should consider that before the commit the crime.
"basically what you're doing is taking some regular fruit juice and turning it into wine" jesus is that u
modern day jesus
Kyto well that is how wine making works
lmao jesus ... thats a funny one lmao takes a keen eye
Naw, lol. Jesus is smart enough to use what his Father created (sugar) instead of the man made, diabetes causing, health ruining corn sugar/HFCS.
One of the worst ingredients invented and no REAL connoisseur would not use corn sugar in ANYTHING.....
He never suggested that. .just given knowledge from him and his father. .God is great and give his only son to die for our sins..
This video helped me out a lot in my younger years hahaha, stealing cartons of apple juice from the fridge and fermenting them in 2L coke bottles, fun times.
@Mike Ehrmantraut You must, what, 18? lmao... this video isn't even that old to refer to it as in my younger years lol
i've been underage drinker for 6 years and watched this to make hooch everyday since you posted, after 7 min into this video i learn something new - awesome - cool stuff
Have you died of alcoholism yet
Gotta tell ya, Craig, I got curious about making my own beer at home, and the first guy I found had this whole industrial stainless steel setup of sinks and basins and whatever all throughout his house, and I was like "Well I guess I can't do this." I then searched for "easy home brewing" and found your channel, and I've enjoyed it ever since.
"must be of drinking age"
at least half the views are from people not of drinking age.
Lmao fr
IHEartLReoy yeah this is what I used to use as a kid because I didn't want to steal from the house or I didn't know anybody who could get some for me. (Yes I know it's bad but that's what we used to do)
My first alcoholic beverage was home made wine
IHEartLReoy lol if your of age go to Trader Joe's and buy a 3 dollar bottle of wine who tf makes alcohol if they can go buy it unless your making vodka from potatoes like they do in Russia
dumbshow3 people who aren't as basic and simple as you, some people just like to do things like this as a hobby.
I couldn't do anything but listen intently, like, favorite, and subscribe! Im only 15 but i find the wine industry and making process fascinating so i decided to dip my hands into this fascinating world of brewing!
I have made caveman hard cider a couple of times as an experiment when I lived near a store that sold preservative free apple cider. Your mouth has yeast in it, along with myriad other microbes, so I took a mouthful of cider, sloshed it around and spit it back into the jug. I let the jug sit in a cool place with the cap on loosely to let the pressure out (cool 50s-60sF so the yeast will grow instead of bacteria), and in a week or two I had lightly carbonated, dry, hard cider. I did it once with bread yeast, too, and it cam out the same. I wish I had added more sugar to boost the alcohol.
I got the idea from the Clan of the Cave Bear series book "Shelters of Stone" where the caveman community winemaker spit into her grape juice to make it stronger. Pretty silly for wine since grape skins have wild yeast on them anyway. Cauim is a drink made from chewing and spitting starchy ingredients. Saliva has amylase enzymes that break starch into sugar.
Tyrander165 Good to know
Ya never know
Those idiots on the show Survivor
Should do that
They always stick then on a usland with fruit..if they win a challage rhw booze them up
They shoukd definetly make island hooch and all be drunk
Then id watch it again
The tribe has not spoken more so they slurred..and kinda spoken..but mostly passed out.
I live in Norway right now and I'm supposed to stay here for a year and a half. Alcohol is pretty much the most expensive thing you can buy here. This method saved my freakin' life.
damn i remember watching this when i was 13 lmao
I appreciate the many tips you've unveiled that I couldn't find elsewhere. My previous efforts have been thwarted by Murphy's Law with simple temperature and lack of nutrients which were only presented in overly-complicated ways in the other resources I found. Looking forward to my first successful batch, and my boyfriend and I will be sure to raise a glass and cheers to you and your tutorials!
this guy is totally toasted, makes it such a epic vid :-)
Ive been brewing for over 15 years... And i still enjoy watching your videos.
I have a question, when making vodka you have to distill it to remove the yeast, potatoes, and methanol but why don't you need to distill wine, shouldn't you die from methanol poisoning?
whoever did that electrical panel should be ashamed of themselves
John Brown thinking the same thing
He probably highjacked it to juice his pot plants upstairs
To those who think they can't get a decent ABV from the Fleishman's yeast- I am running 4 batches right now, 2 apple, 1 grape, and 1 cranberry. At day 16 they are still working like crazy and my spare bedroom is smelling quite alcoholic. I followed Craig's recommendations to the T and it's going great. Froom the looks of things mine are still days away from finishing fermenting, and I can promise you they are smelling 10 to 12% ABV at least.
Wine is constant proof God loves us and wants us to be happy- your uncle Ben
is this a spiderman reference cuz if it is right in the feels. and if not its too late the damage has been done. :(
comicnerd375 i think he means ben franklin ...
So what is cancer?
Just wanted to say thank you from California, I made a few batches and learned from watching this video and several others (religiously). My first batch came out better than I thought.I've had so much fun doing this, that I haven't stopped and my gf has been helping me. Thanks again
When i was 15 i started brewing in my closet as a hobby, for an airlock i used a condom, unrolled it completely, taped it on and pricked a tiny hole in the tip so the condom would inflate but not burst. Happy brewing people :)
+Obama LLama I'm in the exact same situation now. Howd you get yeast? Seems to be the most hard to find thing
+The Hoff Any supermarket just ask where it is, hell I've even found some in dollar stores
+The Hoff u can find dry active yeast in any grocery store for a dollar or less per packet
Haha! I did the same thing in my school locker with a balloon!
Obama LLama I just opened the bottle to let air out
Thanks Craig, I live in Taiwan, There are no home brew shops to buy the stuff you need. So you are a life saver..Thanks
I lost count the amount of times I heard the word "sanitize"
I think it was 27. Watch again and confirm.
Take a shot every time he says sanitize
@@CraigTube Haha good one: cha ching I love it! lol
back in about 2011 I stumbled on this and I got very good at making strong sparkling and non sparkling wine from this. just be weary, on about day 22 your dealing with some pretty hard stuff. I got pretty hammered on this stuff.
firt i want to say that i really love your channel!!
second i wanted to ask you how long does it take it to be ready?
and third the store in my town have dry baking yeast and also "fresh" baking yeast which one of these i need to use?
thank you!!
Still no reply yet. ,m waiting for it too
Thanks Craig, been brewing beer for a few years and wanted to experiment with wine. Couldn't justify buying demijohns for what might have been a one off so I adapted your method and started a few batches.
I think the idea with the condom, is you poke a very tiny hole in it. This way, even though it is releasing Carbon dioxide, there is still constant outward pressure in the condom which keeps outside air from coming in. If it is ballooned out at all, while having a hole in it; it is impossible for outside air to enter. Am I correct? There may come a time in the fermentation process, where it doesn't go fast enough (the reaction); and contaminants enter the condom. I think.
Good video- in the joint we used the only juice available-apple and orange-We used bread rolled up into tight balls for yeast and sugar cubes from commissary.The main fruits served in Prison is Fruit cocktail-We crushed it and added it. As for being sterile...FORGET IT! LOL It was fermented in empty shampoo bottles and sat in the sink of warm water-We had to burp it every so often-and believe me , you could smell it everywhere! we usually sat on it about 4-5 days-strain it through a T shirt and enjoy!
20 min to put sugar yeast and rasins in a bottle of juice
lmao
potch paul the raisins feed the yeast.
Wow wow wow. I watched this video a couple times last week and then on Sat. went to homebrew store and bought a gallon jug, an air lock, some corn sugar and some fleischman's champaigne years. And some star-san. I picked up a gallon of apple juice and threw everything together. 2 cups of sugar. starting sg was 1.074. 4 days later fermentation had stopped and sg was .998. That's about 10%avv!!. tastes great chilled. Will freeze for a little clarification. Thanks Craig!
I did a 5 month stint in the Texas prison system. They ferment whatever they could get their hands on. The only thing they could get regularly to ferment was tomato paste. Yes tomato paste. Uggh. Some of those guys would get drunk enough to puke.
heh heh..yeah I had a couple of inmate friends tell me that back in the 90s (before hi tech cameras, stricter regulations and contractors who now contract to run certain states prison kitchens) that they would get people to somehow smuggle a cup or two of table sugar. and they would let it sit in water for awhile until it dissolved and they would brew that into alcohol. (I'm guessing they would only require a pinch of bread yeast) Must have tasted awefull!
Yeah, I was in a weird situation in Texas. I spent most of my five months at a prison run by CCA. Texas has their own prison system and it's really difficult to get away with making hooch. But since I was in a CCA prison, we were pretty much free to do whatever we wanted. The prison used to be an air force base so it's set up dormitory style. There were no cameras. Nobody was watching us. I lived on the third floor. We had a look out. We would keep the lights off in the hallway, If the guard was coming, they would turn on the light. So cigarettes, cell phones, K2, marijuana, and tattoos were rampant. I mean rampant! It was a fool proof warning system. The rooms had window unit air conditioners that you could pull out and leave a hole in your wall. Outside there's a ledge that people would put the hooch to ferment. They would steal bags of brown sugar and tomato paste from the kitchen and ferment it. On the 4th of July so many guys got so drunk they had 4 or 5 fights and one of the Mexican gangs almost got in a fight with the Bloods. It was pretty tense for a few days. The guards would put locks on everything. They had locks to certain areas in the dorm. They had locks on certain rooms. But we're in prison. The locks were useless when you have 20 guys that can pick them. So they would pick the locks and ferment the hooch in places no one would look. Hell, they would ferment hooch in the administrators office. They would make it look like cleaning supplies. The amount of contraband was insane.
*****
Well don't go telling everyone! lol
jazzartdesign I'm not very proud of it for sure. Then again Texas throws everyone in prison. In the 80's Texas had one prison. By 2010 there were over 110. They asked the federal government for more money to build more prisons. Obama actually did one good thing and told them to get lost and start using the parole board. Some of the sentences they are administering are insane. 25 years for possession of 4 grams of meth? 5 years for repeat offenders for possession of marijuana under an ounce? Meanwhile the guy that lived next to me tried to burn down a school and only got 4 years for arson. I got two years for trying to pass off a fake prescription for 20 hydrocodone. A little excessive if you ask me. Never been in trouble before. But I'm all done now. I'm free and clear. I'll just try to learn from it and move on.
*****
Yeah Ive heard of how Texas is a pretty tough state on crime. Your right about it being too excessive. I actually do remember hearing about that state and how they were making makeshift outside prisons (like the kind you mention in) But like you said, its much easier to get away with alot of other stuff such as brewing than your average population prison. Still from the sound of those makeshifts prisons..I'd rather have a normal one with cells,camera's,and heat or A.C. (and the more chances of getting caught with the wine paraphernalia)
Craig is such a nice guy. Helped us get wasted with minimal effort.
this dude's mouth noises are making my stomach turn.
me and my middle school friends started a bussiniess selling this stuff, thanks craigtube
Did you get into trouble? I wanna hear your story haha
The title is wrong this is not inmate brew as inmates can't go supermarket and buy Yeast lol... We use bread and kettles
Or get a friend in the servery to get you some yeast.
inmates use actual bread for the yeast and potato/fruit peelings for the sugar
:)
I saw a video about how to make a prison shank. They used Kittles too. I think you make everything out of kittles.
Maverick K you say da kitchen
we used honey buns when i was locked up, its also called hooch
I just finished tasting my hooch that I made with 100% Cran-Grape juice. It was EXCELLENT. I really didn't expect the great results I got. I followed your recipe to the letter and tried the air-lock and the condom trick. The one with the condom did have a slight rubbery smell to it but there wasn't any rubbery taste. It had a dry wine taste similar to a pinot but obviously a red. Thanks for the video Craig!
no name juice?
are you from canada? haha
fückin eh Probably stuff that comes from the States and we're ashamed, so we label it No Name. LOL. :)
Hey I stumbled across your video today. I'm a poor single dad and I needed something to pass the time. Im going to give this a go Im really just starting to get into home brewing and I am really excited!
If you are going to swallow every three seconds move the mic off your collar it sounds like your drowning
Hi Craig, long time fan here. Just wanted to thankyou for getting me into homebrewing, i have done it on and off for the last 14 years. Ive had successes and failures but the hard apple cider i make always turns out good. I just brewed a batch up today actually (hard apple cider) and this time its more for the reason of cheapness.... cider and beer has gone up in price in the UK so i now understand why you homebrewed all these years with Canadian prices over there. I haven't brewed for about 2 years now but i always get the itch again. This time i will be sharing it with work colleagues and hopefully get them brewing themselves once they see how easy it is. I tend to do smaller batches (4lt batch this time) just because i know how much it sucks to get 23 litres of wort ruined....
I first watched this video when i was about 16 and now i am 30! (known you almost half my life sir!) and i actually started brewing when i was 17.
Just want to say thankyou for the information over the years and I now use Starsan as my go to sanitiser, works every time and lasts forever!!!
I actually bought the coopers beer kit a good few years ago, i had one good batch and every batch after that got infected / ruined some how (tried 3 more batches before giving up). I might try a mead soon too as that is easy enough to make any size batch you want. The beer kits are usually 23lt batches so thats too much for me to tip down the drain if it goes wrong but i do love my beer so its a shame.
Thanks alot for all your videos over the years Craig! your a legend mate!
Hi Craig maybe try clearing your throat before making a vid and don't drink nothing that will leave a coating in your mouth
And not click or make a sound w your lips
it's a bummer that people dont appreciate the time and effort you put in to giving a quality detailed video, thanks craigtube, I'm making some right now with just a few tweaks, either way it should be fun
Move your audio mic so we don't have to hear you swallowing your own spit each time you take a sip So annoying !!!!
Ron B fuck people are rude. Just move on.
Hello there! He does this at room tampeture for the yeast to work. He also mention when Juice / Whine is done you can put in the fridge to stop the fermentation, and if you want to stop for good you can freeze it to kill the yeast bacterias completely! Hope it covers your question! :)
Couldn't watch to the end, with all that swallowing and chortling, I was expecting a vomit. Sounds like you're abit too drunk and almost not able to keep the wine down. Disgusting.
You can also use an occlusive dressing to keep the O2 out and CO2 out. I'm a medic and we use them on lung wounds. 3 sides of plastic wrap taped and the fourth open. If drops down when exhaust is not coming out and seals the hole.
I've watched a bunch of these vids and this is the first time I have heard the fermentation. Good job.
I watched this video long ago when it came out and was really impressed . Nothing like Craig from years ago, cheers!
You dont need to air lock either, Just screw the cap on then slowly unscrew it until the pressure is released and then a little more so the top can move up and down as it releases the gases
So glad this video came back up good memories using this vid to make topical juice wine at 13/14 good times
thanks alot craig! im 23 years old, so no worries here. but i followed your guide 100% complete, and instead of using a condom, i actually just used an un lubed latex glove i sanitized, and just used a hair tie to keep it in place, but i literally just now finished mixing all the stuff in, soo in a couple weeks ill post here and let everyone know how my batch turned out!! happy brewing and thanks again craig!
it turned out perfect! just need to filter the sediment and it tastes amazing
10 year's ago people didn't hav d habit of commenting.... otherwise things wud be different
Hey Craig. My girlfriend & I are just getting into home brewing. Your videos have been really helpful. Great work - keep it up. Thought you might be interested to know an Aussie company called OzTops has a $25 kit for just this sort of brewing. Yeast enough to make 75 litres of wine from fruit juices right in the bottle. Also comes with patented reusable lids (2 types; to fit juice bottles & soft drink bottles) with built in airlocks in 3 carbonation strengths. Might want to check it out. Cheers
Hahaha, this is one of the most respectful people I've seen on YT. Good shit Craig!
Hey Craig, I watch most of your videos & have enjoyed learning the process. I've got my first batch brewing & all is well. Thanks for your help man!! Only regret I have is that I didn't run across your channel early. A big huge thanks from Texas man!! Cheers bro :)
Hey Craig
I've been watching your videos for a while now. This video helped me to decide to start brewing at home. I just wanted to thank you and keep up the great videos. On a side note. I have some inmate brew fermenting right now.
Makes a change from the ketchup, water and mouldy bread I've heard inmates use to make wine, great video as always.
dude your a genius u opened my eyes and now i understand it all
Made some of this not too long ago. Of course, being cheap and lazy, I used a balloon for the airlock (there was no rubber taste) and skipped the adding of the fruit. Also used a wine yeast. Worked very well, especially after I did a bit of freeze concentration. Too well maybe, Had a large mason jar one evening, blacked out and couldn't remember a thing.
Thanks for the video. Just finished my first batch. Came out great. I did add fining agent for clarification. Additional two weeks.
Dear CraigTube,
Another way you could have gotten the juice off the raisins was to put it through a strainer or something like it. But I love this vid, it taught me a lot!
11 years later and a million gallons of hooch later. Hi graig,lifes still good.
haha i like the kid's juice, "whatever this is, ill add to it, they're gonna drink it"
I think this may be the coolest video I've ever seen.
Glad I have more modern facility's also.
My Air lock is a clear plastic s-bend and in my grandfathers home brewing days in the 1970's he would use a plastic rubbish bin and the lid would often blow under pressure. I wonder is a short length of hose in an S-bend and some tape could have worked also :)
This video is a teenager's paradise. You might as well show me how to grow pot while I'm here.
Turned out sweeter then wine and more tolerable- thank you.
Totally agree.
Just started to home brew with Mr Beer kits. Which eventually led me to cheaper easier ways to make booze. Well Craig. I thank you for sharing your insight.
I've liked and subscribed.
Thanks alot.
Hey Craig just wanted to thank you for this incredibly informative video. I actually ended up boiling the raisins along with two cups of sugar and it is working like a charm!
Good idea! I dissolve the sugar in water before adding it to the juice. But his idea of getting real nutrient from dried fruits instead of buying nutrient packets - well, it's inspired! Next time I'll save a step add raisins to the boiled water.and sugar, and see how that goes.
I have read that dead yeast will also act as a nutrient for the live yeast. Bring a small sample of your juice to a boil and add a packet of yeast. Future wines, you can add the dead yeast you collected at the bottom of the container from a previous batch.
being underage and broke, homebrewing is the best thing to happen to my friendship group ever, (im always the one to brew it) i made a beverage i called vampire sunset, i made sugar wine (just yeast, water a sugar) let it ferment, then filtered it out and added cherry cordial. it tasted damn good, currently making another batch now :D
I traded all of my extra meal stuff for fruit and fruit juice. I had a deal with the kitchen guys to smuggle in the yeast in our drink cambro. I cleaned out a gallon jug that had toxic cleaner in it originally. (Have to sacrifice several oranges for that) I hung it up with an extra pair of socks from the bottom of my bunk. Had pruno going for four months and through three dorm searches. I was everyone's best friend. lol
Sometimes the fun lies in seeing how far you can get with very little. Nothing wrong with that. The RIGHT WAY is whatever way you have fun with.
Add the raisins to the brew, it makes it taste better. After it stop brewing in 2 weeks transfer to a new clean container and it will become cloudless. I then put in 1 tablespoon of corn sugar into a 2 ltr pop bottle and then store for about 3 months...U now have sparkling home brew! Works best on white wine or what ever u make. My wines come out @about 14% 16% + I get no hangover!! The lady's love it! Plus it is 100% natural! I make 36 ltr's a month of wine in summer for xmas gifts! No lubecoum
A easy to make wine is made with those plastic cans of frozen juice concentrate and a gas heater (no extra yeast needed).
1.Mix up a batch into a gallon juice jug (empty Hawaiian punch ones works great)
2. Let that sit in front of the heater for about 2 weeks
3. put in the fridge after 2 weeks to cool down (because this jug will be HOT and so bloated)
4. Pour into wine,beer,etc. bottles and cork (you might have to put scotch tape to hold these corks on tight and keep stuff out because they do like to blow their tops before it's finally done).
Enjoy :D.
Going on 24 hours or so with my first batch, an apple/passion/mango concoction. One thing though, it didn't start to ferment until I ran the bottle under hot water for about 15 minutes. Not sure if it's the quality of the yeast, but a handy tip for other first timers out there.
Great video. Did this when I younger and it brings back memories. However I used a balloon instead of a condom.
I use balloons too. The 12 inch round ones are great and not as tall as the air locks so the containers fit better on a top closet shelf.
You said to poke a hole in the condom with a pin? The condoms I bought already had pin holes. We named her Carol. Personally I just don't like the condom thing. Some people use a balloon and it works well. If I don't have an airlock I like using a plastic tube in a mason jar of water. You can see and hear the bubbling. It sounds like success. When you don't see or hear bubbling the fermentation is complete. This leads to the question of aging. Great video. The raisin trick is great.
Hooch ahhh yes ...Very familiar they run wires from the outlet commonly called a stinger into containers to heat distill wine into brandy by a cover over container into hoses running through cooled water as vapor drops into other sealed container.
In jail we would use orange juice, jelly packets, apples, crushed in a sock. n a few other things, they even added now and laters to a few batches. :))
I'm just about to attempt this I got everything I need for $10 that includes 3 bottles of juice, tubing, yeast, and raisins! Can't wait!
Take a shot every time this guy gulps
I once used an attachable shower head tube for the seal (you know the type that push onto the taps with the flexible rubber seal) boil the seal and tube., sealed it with a wod of blu tac and put the other end of the pipe in a water bottle. worked fine
Air Lock: You can purchase one way valves from a pet store that has fish tanks. It's a clear valve that you can see the flapper valve inside. It goes into the small air tubes to aerate the water in an aquarium. Drill a small hole in the plastic cap from your juice container. Insert the hose fitting nipple into the hole in the cap. Secure it in place with a small squirt of silicon and let it dry over night. Search for "fish tank check valve" to see a photo - They cost $2-3 ea. walmrt has them
OK, I made a batch. Whew, it is strong but still palatable. So I started thinking, "What would be the proper vessel in which wine of this caliber?" A fine crystal wine glass? No, to uppity. Maybe a common household glass? No, still to far removed from the roots and culture from which it was created. Then it hit me. The perfect vessel from which to sip your fine brew. The humble Dixie paper cup. Perfect. Then wrap the used cups tightly together, heat & sharpen for the perfect shiv.
Welch's make an unfiltered berry mix in the same aisle as the grape juice. follow Craig's recipe but use this instead of grape. Just brewed a batch of it recently, and I'm hooked. That's the winner winner chicken dinner for me.
Hi I am also from the UK. Try Sainsburys apple juice topped up with castor sugar its really good. In my opinion its way better than any cider you can buy off the shelf. The juice is quite high in sugar content straight off the shelf so don't add too much sugar. I use 1 1/2lb in a gallon.
You can get gallon bottles of still water and use them for the brewing vessel from any supermarket, i got mine from Tesco's.
Me, a bottle of this, and this dude in one cell...
awesome.. I have learned something very useful. this will come in handy this season lol
i love your video, ive been making wine using this method for just under a year now. only i use welches frozen concentrate, latex gloves work as well as condoms although not as sterile, also the smell of brewing wine this way is sometimes a little offensive, for that i get a plastic bin with a lid(not airtight) maybe about 16 gallons or just big enough for all your bottles and snap the lid on. this also helps keep the temp more constant if your house temp changes between night and day...
I will admit for educational purposes I have served some time for a completely non violent crime involving some plants and such.....I taught the guys in my block how to save all their fruit from lunch and breakfast,squeeze it into one guys toilet(cleaned with bleach),squeeze all the ketchup packets from dinner into it(ketchup contains yeast) and voila! I had all the friends,coffee,and cigarettes I needed to get my time done with no hassles.Never drank it but those guys had a blast!
I need this simple steps. Thanks. The average Joe's kitchen wine.
Great video my friend, just starting out and have learned more from your videos than a months worth of research.
I'm gonna use a huge bottle so when I buy my condoms I can ask the cute pharmacist for King Size.
XD
Jason, watch more of his videos. The Man knows what he's doing, and he's sharing it with you for free.
a clear minded explanation, intelligent. satisfying. .
Good ol toilet wine.... the memories....😭
I picked up what I needed at the store last night. I used to make balloon wine like this when I was about 18, with varying results. (yeah, I was underage, but that was 11 years ago-- you had nothing to do with it. Also, my parents were okay with it.)
I thought I'd give it another go, if I like it, maybe try my hand at making a bigger batch with some more proper equipment. I could use another good hobby, and I have some relatives who are in to this.
Let me add my experience and $.02. Temperature is indeed important. Next to sanitary equipment like you say! The yeast you use can almost double the alcohol yield as well. Use a a good champagne yeast and you can get 16%+. I brew my own beer, have experimented with cider, wine, ect. Even pure ethanol, ahem, as fuel of course lol. I've had batches stall in fermenting and as soon as I put a band heater or even a space heater on them they explode with action. That's the good stuff. You're looking for a good 75 degrees F. I'm personally not happy with the typical alcohol yield this produces alone so I distill is down further for purity and %. Then I use it as a mixer and add it to my favorite beverage. Heck some of my own stuff is so strong I can use it as cleaner and even a sanitizer itself. We've even burned it in a dish, and at night it burns a nice clean blue flame. Science is fun stuff!
yes we did, glad thats behind me,..I have made wine with a six pack of v-8, a box of sugar cubes, and some bread...........nasty, but what you gonna do? ...........boiled my first home brew beer tonight,..thank you for all your great vids, I know it's a lot of work teaching us ,....Thanks,
Very good, I used to make it back in high school... for my air lock I just used a light plastic sandwich bag over the top with a small rubber band around the neck. Worked fine.... Good luck
