Lockdown booze recipes

[bwana]

Just put my first Liquifruit brew to bed. Could only get mango and orange. 2L mango and orange, 1kg sugar, 4L water. SG a whopping 1.070! So I should get a nice kick out of this

Brewing yeast plentiful at local Spar.

Now busy with a ginger beer. Think I put too much lemon in.

Mine's on too. 6l juice, 800g sugar and 5g yeast. Should be ready for Level 4.

wowser that is a lot of sugar, you would normally add like 1KG of dextrose to a 23lt batch, that is going to be rough as hell

Not going to be any rougher than any of my previous batches. The yeast will do its job.

I wouldn't know where to find dextrose anyway.

I am just referring to quantity wise, dextrose is just sugar (different type).

Not that it really matters but common white sugar is sucrose.

[Steamy Tom]

nice duration and recipe please this is what I want to try today

4L Clear apple liquifruit
8TBL spoons brown sugar
I added a teaspoon of yeast nutrietn because i have

i let the brewers yeast hydrate in 200ml water for 15 minutes before adding then added it to the mix, put the airlock on and left it in a dark place for 6 days till bubbling stopped and the yeast had dropped out of suspension.

then i bottled it with a 1/3tsp of sugar in each and left it for another week, ideally it should be longer

I've had a lot off success with getting yeast off my lemon and orange tree with the lemon yeast seemingly being the most efficient. I also have a bread starter thats been going since 2016 that I got from my fruit trees. I normally slice bits of skin around the stem area and use them whole to get a yeast starter going.

Interesting video on how to make your own yeast.

Thanks for that, I will give it a go. I have fermented quite a lot of chillis and other veges and I also make my own sourdough. An interesting phenomenon I have anecdotally observed is that the stems appear to hold the best "load" of the necessary bacteria to kick off fermentation. I used to de-stem all my chillis before fermentation, but now I leave them on, and de-stem before pulping as things get off the ground much more quickly.

It would be interesting to see if someone else observed the same, and I will employ this method given the video you posted.

i let the brewers yeast hyfrate in 200ml water for 15 minutes before adding then added it to the mix, put he airlock on and left it in a dark place for 6 days till bubbling stopped and the yeast had dropped out of suspension.

then i bottled it with a 1/3tsp of sugar in each and left it for another week, ideally it should be longer

thanks ill try this, how is the taste? similar to hunters/savana/appletiser? do you heat the liquifruit at all?

Question, sorry, how much yeast? 1 tsp?

 

[Steamy Tom]

no heating, just shake the bottle with the juice and sugar before adding the yeast to dissolve it.

taste is excellent, it is a little bit dry but after the first sip actually great, strength is quite rough.

half a tsp of brewers yeast

 

[Steamy Tom]

i also siphon out of the fermentation container into the bottling container which helps...

thanks! does the taste compare to anything commercial or not really?
