Lockdown booze recipes

[bwana]

Any recipes for a grape juice brew? Mom got 2L grape juice, wants to make something. I assume put juice in container, add sugar and yeast and leave? Would sugar be necessary if the juice is already sweet? It's pure fruit juice, no preservatives.

I’ve bottled a small amount from Cele this morning. It’s been on the go since Monday. 6l juice and about 800g of sugar. 1/2 sachet of bakers yeast.

Fwiw it stared off cloudy.

you okes are bottling too soon, primary fermentation is at least 4-5 days, plus a day to make sure and settle

Because if I drink 5L of home-made alcohol while I’m working, it’s going to be a bad day

Hahahaha

Monday seems 4-5 days away to me?

Depending on the samplers I'll probably bottle the rest tomorrow.

 

[Pineapple Smurf]

yup my maths also says Mon - Fri = 4 days

Burp the bottles, please. The usual recommendation is at least 2 weeks in primary, so yes, you guys are bottling too soon.

 

[Pineapple Smurf]

i always bottle after 4 days

Two weeks? Who's got time for that. I'm "brewing" pineapple and grape juice for Pete's sake, not an award winning pinot from Napa.

4 days if you did it in the morning on Monday... bottling should be happening on Sunday ideally.. animals...

Why? What's wrong with bottle fermenting it for a couple of days so I can get another big batch of something else on the go in the jar?
