Homebrew

[lolsteve]

went into the local homebrew shop he seemed interested in my recipe
he recommended a wine yeast comes in a white packet which makes 20-25lts so i divided the pack into 4

the orange one I'm making is 3 squeezed oranges into 4.5ltrs water and 1/2kg sugar
that has took off and is bubbling like mad

the lemon one is 4 squeezed lemons it is bubbling but not as well

Ive also got a hydrometer so can tell the alcohol content once done

So, what exactly are you attempting to make?

It's like a alcoholic alco pop - like wkd or the like if he mixes sqaush in at the end


A few of mine are running on bread yeast, very bubbly and quick activation leaves a bit of a dirty brown mess at the top though and I've heard/read that bread yeast can survive to 14% vol so it's a cheap alterative im hoping will work. Got a demijohn with champange yeast going as well which has taken a few days to get going but now is bubbling like the breast yeast versions.

Good idea with the hydrometer it'll be interesting to see how much this really produces
