    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?

    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

    Apparently, he still replies to comments!! I'm wondering how a grape jack experiment would go! You can do a very simple distillation just by freezing your ferment and letting the lower temperature alcohols melt out first and throwing away the left over water. Naturally you are left with a higher concentration of methanol that you can't discard, unlike a normal evaporative distillation, but the cure for methanol poisoning is more ethanol ahahaha so there isn't too much harm so long as you're careful and drink responsibly. Would love to see how they compare in another experiment! (unless he's already done it??)

I usually do a cider (actually bottled 100 percent Apple juice and 1 and 1/4 cup sugar) with some wine yeast go about 8 days and cap it and stick it in the fridge. 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:)

      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.

    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.

    fermentation ?
    3- can you leave the container to do the fermentation in a place that there is a variable temperature of between 0°C and -20°C (32f to -4f)?
    4-how much yeast (in grams) and sugar do you recommend to put in for 1L of fruit juice?
    5- last question promise , can you use “Instant yeast” to do the booze?

      !. Food safe plastic containers or glass will work just fine.
      2. Yes, CO2 is produced by the yeast and can build up in the container. Make sure to let it breath.
      3. You want to maintain a temp of at least 55F or the yeast will start to shut down the process.

    • @PlattR
      @PlattR  5 лет назад +10

      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.

  • @vincedibona4687
    @vincedibona4687 Год назад

    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.

    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 года назад +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.

    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?

      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.

    Hey Mr. Platt. Great videos. One quick question... At what temperature should the fermentation liquid be stored? Room temperature? Is cooler or hotter better?

    • @PlattR
      @PlattR  4 года назад

      Room temperature will work.
