Lockdown booze recipes

so i managed to bottle 8 this morning, i added a bit of sweetener for a test but i couldn't measure out half a gram so it is going to be what it is going to be...

Is there any danger to having the pinapple (or other fruit) stand for 10 days plus to clear up?

i guess it could start rotting, i probably wouldnt go over 10, imo you should strain and bottle it to let it clear up

What if the fermentation takes that long or even longer? Strain the fruit and let it continue fermenting?

probably what i would do yeah, though i doubt fermenting should take much longer than 10 days

I tried a recipe to make a ginger bug using ginger, sugar, water and yeast. Everyday you add ginger and sugar after a week you add a part of the bug to sugar water and let it sit for 1 week. My end result was not very good. I have had much better luck with the pineapple recipe and would suggest that one very tried and tested.

I do that one as well. works well. I have lowered the ginger to around 160g and dropped the chilli and then put in about 1/2 a tsp of coriander and its super delicious.

Other option is that bozza ginger beer powder

So the 4l Rhodes grape juice turned out a bit of a dud. After a bit more than a week it's still extremely sweet and have some wierd aftertaste that I can't even describe.

Ye gads..!!! I've just (well, last night) set an 8l batch of Rhodes & Rothschild in motion

Reminds me..

"It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of Sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, the stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion."

Ah well, thank ye gods for that backup bucket of Hunters Cold bubbling away nicely..

The wife was in charge of making the rhodes "wine". She informed me she also added 2 cups of sugar as per a Facebook recipe she got. So Im not taking any responsibility for that.

The initial taste is okay. It's like a really bad cheap natural sweet red wine. But then there's an aftertaste that taste like shít and makes it undrinkable. I don't know if that's still the yeast and if it will clear up over time. It still makes some foam if you pour it.

This is what I do(its fairly strong ginger wise but nice):
--------------------ginger beer------------------
6l water
300g ginger finely grated
250g brown sugar
500g white sugar
Juice from 2 lemons
Cinnamon 1 teaspoon powder or one stick
6g brewers yeast.

 

[netstrider]

When substituting instant for brewers yeast do the ratios differ?

i just bought 10 kg white sugar

does it make a difference using brown sugar as well?

Honestly I wouldn't know since this is my first foray into vintner-ery, but my recipe says 3 weeks so maybe a tad too early?

Actually, that's exactly why I made 2 batches.. ain't nobody got 3 weeks to wait for a drink!

My recipe is a mashup between the low end "Nothing says 'Quality fine wine' like a Lowe's bucket",

and the slightly more "posh" version..

I just reckon with no other source of alcohol ama gonna keep it for the duration anyway, if you hear nothing of me after the 4 weeks, well then you may assume..

My recipe goes somewhere between the low end (Nothing says " Quality fine wine" like a Lowes bucket)

and the slightly more "posh" version..

3 weeks might make more sense. We wanted instant lockdown booze(1 week max.)
