    Also good for cure hangover.

    1.5L / 50oz water
    1/3 cup of raisins
    1 teaspoon dry yeast
    100g / 3.5oz sugar
    two slices of black rye or pumpernickel bread
    1 lemon
    hermetic jars for storage
    (unground coffee beans optional)

    For anyone still wondering - no, you can't get drunk on kvass - alcohol content is too low, your stomach isn't big enough (unless you're a competitive eater of some kind); no, you can't taste alcohol in it, even without lemons; yes, it is safe to drink for kids.

Dangerous amount would be if you drink 5 shots of drink that has around 60% alcohol in it, but only because you would get drunk very fast. Lethal dose would be around 1 liter of pure alcohol. So if you drink total of 10 liters of kvass in one go you would get drunk, and if you drink ~45 liters of kvass in one go, you will die. So dangerous amount would be 20 liters in one go of few % alcohol drink.

    So, after making KBAC like 6 or 7 times, here are my tips for creating a slav miracle:
    -Choose your bread carefully. The bread you use greatly determines the taste. The darker, the heavier the taste.
    -When Boris says "toast it to Chernobyl", he actually means it. Turn the bread almost black.
    -Dark bread has the tendency to fall apart in the toaster, which is pizdec. Use a pan.
    -When operating on the bread cocktail, add caraway and whole pepper balls for improved spiceyness.
    -Replace the sugar with honey. This does not only improve the taste, no, honey can also ferment (as is done in honeymead). With honey, you can actually get drunk on Kvass.
    -Do NOT use a jar like Boris does, or a bottle with a swing top. They ferment very slowly. Professionals use a special device for this (which I cannot afford).
    -Instead, use a glass bottle with a screwtop. Because you can regulate the pressure in the bottle, you can speed up or slow down the fermentation process.
    -During the fermentation process, A LOT of pressure will build up. Be aware of that.
    -When you start fermenting, add more than a few raisins. They speed up the fermentation (my record is 6 hours for the fermentation!) and when it is done, they taste delicious.

    I tried this recipe, these are the results:
    -Nice beer, a little bit sour, seems like a strange version of a muscat
    -I fermented it 3 days, once a day I put the fermenting jar into warm water for 2-4h, I depressurized it once a day, and added the 1st and 2nd day a teaspoon of sugar, so to make my yeast happy
    I expected it to be, like many said, 2-4% of alcohol.
    This morning I bottled it, the following happened:
    Give it a taste. Good. Proceede to drink a little bit of it and eat all the fermented grapes (about 40 of them), because why not, why waste them.
    Drink like 33cc of it on half empty stomach, because it's quite good.
    Here I am, 15mins after, writing tipsy a comment under this video.
    I dunno what happened to my beer, but considering how much I drink usually before starting to feel the alcohol, this is not a 2-4% alcohol beer, for sure! I dunno how it happened but that's a very welcomed inconvenience!

      Uzvar, which is non-alcohol is great too. Espesially in winter.
      Also there are spotykach, yagodanka, varenukha, kalinchick and many-many others delicious alcohol things. Probably they was discovered when some ancient slavs spoiled a lot of products. But then they thought "No, курва, we will drink it!" And there was evening. And there was morning. And there was a hangover.

      Around the time of you posting that comment, I tried making my first "kotikalja" (=finnish equivalent for kvass) from an extract and dry yeast. Tried making it a bit stronger but the yeast decided not to do its job. I guess this could've been prevented by making a yeast starter. Then I made a bread kvass pretty much with this recipe but added extra sugar and yeast and gave it a good bunch of days to ferment. Also made a few liters of it, not around 1 liter like boris did. Was really nice to get drunk with that! Instantly home-fermenting drinks became my hobby and I've pretty much made some kind of an alcoholic drink every week after that.

    A word of advice from a fellow Slav - when you pour the boiled mixture into the jar for the first time, make sure you leave some space between the mix and the lid. Do not fill the jar to the max, or there's gonna be kvass all over the place - unless you have some really tough glassware. Accumulating fermentation gases tend to make jars and bottles explode and the smell stays for quite a long time. Stay safe out there!

    Well I actually got drunk once for drinking too much of this - so I lowered the sugar from 100g to 80g (1.5L water) and 3/4 tb yeast for 36hrs fermentation. Also the best fermentation place is your DISH WASHER. Turn the plate warmer every 6hr and it can make the fermentation so much faster.
    And do remember to keep your kvass in refrigerator for day or two. This is very important, since the taste of yeast isn't so well and sometime isn't healthy to you. You need to give them enough time to be deactivated and to be precipitated down to the bottom of your glass jar. The sediment is also known as "lees" in the professional wine-making. Homemade Kvass will still contain lively yeast and yeast won't die even after you've chilled your kvass for day or two - they will still produce alcohol just much slower. So, Longer the kvass "aged", more alcohol it contains and stranger it tasted. And I found the kvass that chilled in refrigerator for 24hr-48hr is the BEST kvass I've made. Very light and very refreshing!
    Last but not least - if you had successfully made Kvass (means you had done it, drank it and did get diarrhea or something like that), you have been stepped into the world of fermentation. The next step will be homemade beer, wine and moonshine - even a small brewer.

      It is true. When you have a typical Russian summer outdoors, with its +45°C, and some job just done (perhaps outdoors, too), then a bottle of kvass in your fridge (of course, a barrel of kvass in your kitchen is even better) is not a lifestyle but a savior. Add the “okroshka” (a cold soup made of boiled vegetables, meat, eggs, fresh green onion and radish, mixed with cooled kvass, sour cream and a bit of horseraddish) to a total count, and, yes, kvass will be your lifestyle when all around is melting away!

    Kvass is actually good for you.
    "As its primary ingredient is rye, kvass is a good source of vitamin B-1 and B-6, magnesium, phosphorus, amino acids, and pantothenate. It is also rich in lactic acid and simple sugars, which contributes to its taste, provides ample calories to fuel physical activity, and may improve digestion, as with other lacto-fermented foods such as yogurt and sauerkraut."
