[@TheHyena-ru8bz]

This guy needs his own television show!

[@elainemackenzie9651]

I agree!

[@Strugglingtraveller]

9 years on and this is still my favourite homebrew video 😁

[@RK-cw4js]

Might be one of the best videos I've ever seen, I love his sense of humour

[@barrypopplewell5216]

Why didn't I know this when I was 16? I would've been the sexiest person in school. Better late than never. Thanks man, excellent video well done.

[@rcottam]

Hilarious! I can't believe this video hasn't had more hits! Don't fear the foam! Cheers!

[@kewlbns69]

the foam is your friend haha...that made me laugh too

[@danielbedford6539]

The best youtube video I have ever seen. Thats for posting, top bloke.

[@dieselblaze6665]

I just made my 1st batch of booze with Alcotec 48! It's about half as strong as Jack Daniels or Jim Beam! And that's good enough for me!

[@mayascott-kral2993]

Sir you are my favorite person on the internet

[@gc8907]

who ever disliked this video, should go live in a cave and stay off the internet. this was $%^&* funny, and informative.

i totally agree!!!this guy rocks!!!!

[@TomRiddleMeThisSpock]

4.5G water 12lb sugar 3.25 oz or 92grams Alcotec 48 Turbo Yeast Add sugar to sterilized bucket. Add some boiling water to sugar, stir until sugar is dissolved. (approx 6q in example) Add cold water to bucket (approx same quantity as hot water) Take temp, goal is 100-110°F Add yeast to bucket, stir for one minute. Add more water (6 more quarts, with a temp between 100-110 degrees.) fill bucket only to desired 4.5G mark.

[@mapleflagg7744]

This is my favorite go to video for wine making when I'm doing rocket fuel. It works every time without a hitch. This is by far the best video on the subject and so well done and entertaining to boot! I'm surprised you haven't gotten more hits on this one.

[@gontro8287]

+Maple Flagg Your dead right, l found the video was entertaining and informative in a very BASIC way so you really cant fuck it up.

[@assonbanda9366]

Hai man . Sure you are one of best teachers I've ever listened to. Sure u supposed have your own TV station. I like you man

[@murrayreid2644]

best 11 minutes I've had for a while.

[@Denofu]

Fun fact: This drink was invented in Finland And if you don't want it to taste like yeast and if you want it to be as clear as water just let it sit in the fridge for 3 days.

[@endofunk2174]

... better yet add a fining e.g. Bentonite clay will clean it up completely

[@tjt955]

Getting back into home-brewing after watching Moonshiners - love this video and the great job in which the video was prepared and the steps articulated!

[@infrerioralveolar]

I loved your personality and postures man ❤️😭

[@crashtuladhar]

My brother was listening to the video, he's a hillbilly now 😂😂

[@williamg2776]

I saw this video for the first time a few weeks back, and can't stop watching it. Thanks for one of the greatest how to videos out there!

[@mrlarkin6416]

Fantastic regards from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@Ryuxification]

im trying this during the confinement and ramadan becquse no booz in my country during this month lol , cheers form Tunisia Sir

[@battlefolkcovers]

You, sir, are a legend. :)

[@HomoSapien-z5q]

I love this man

[@Dylabong420]

This video was great! This guy was pretty funny! I give it a thumbs up!

[@roytetwart]

I found this video by accident. So glad I did. Hilarious!

[@williamshufflebottom-k3t]

Great video well done very entertaining. As for the heat belt I use a pets electric blanket. There very cheap, and you can adjust the temperature.

[@ArdeltaTrading]

Still my favorite shine video!

[@sonoftakeshisan5929]

I did this and it topped out at 14%. I wish I had a heatbelt, though next time I will be wrapping it in 2 sleeping bags to keep it warm. Great video, very entertaining.

[@barrybrum]

Well, if you don't mind drinking un-distilled sugar wash that tastes like yeast, go for it.

[@andrewmcgregor9691]

Atleast its LEGAL alcohol production

[@georgemaycock936]

Without doubt the best video I've seen on brewing. Clear instructions and a dry sense of humour - Excellent, WhiteTrashTrailerr

[@Boemel]

I tried this, smells and tastes like cheap cologne. but 2 glasses and im drunk so hey its what you expect from this.

[@renexerez2122]

@Daver G WHAHAHAHAA

[@johnmccrossan9376]

@Daver G I have, don't

[@neeshkhalili2869]

HEY GREAT VIDEO, VERY DETAILED AND INFORMATIVE.... I AM JUST CONFUSED BECAUSE I SAW ANOTHER VIDEO THAT PUTS IN A AIR SEALER TUBE AND AFTER A WHILE THE LIQUID STARTED BUBBLING OUT OF THE AIR SEAL TUBE AND INTO A CONTAINER... BUT YOU DIDNT. I THINK HE MADE VODKA AND YOU MADE WINE...? DOES THAT MEAN IF YOU SEAL IT AND DONT LET ANY LIQUID COME OUT DURING THE PROCESS, IT MAKES WINE? OR IS THAT JUST ANOTHER WAY OF DOING THE SAME THING? 

[@KingDoomfist]

Dude is such a character!

[@akeslav]

Do not fear the foam XD Love it :D

[@3bydacreekside]

Hey I saw he liked your comment...that must mean he's alllllll right folks :D

[@stephentowse4453]

Like the video, I have been making this for years and when finished use turbo klear ? that brings it out as clear as water in my case anyway.

[@voltronsupremeFood]

i have done several batches with alcotec but there is something off with the flavor, i suspect that they add other chemicals besides yeast that alter flavor as the yeast is intended to be used for distilling later where those chemicals wont apoear in the distillate. But to each their own.

[@nicola3540]

I wish all instructional videos were like this - informative, concise, and fucking hilarious.

[@top6ear]

I had a good chuckle at the 3rd hand

[@johnnycobb00]

leave an extra few days for the content to settle and use a hose to syphon out the alcohol when its clear and it wont taste of yeast, add a clean hose tho or introduction of bacteria will make the alcohol taste of sulphur and if this ever does happen you can neutralise the sulphur with copper so you could throw in some old cleaned pennies and it would work

[@conornolan8547]

My favourite instructional video. And it works!

[@ash31male]

OMG... THIS GUY IS FUNNY!!! Whats up with the windmill looking light bulb??? HAHAHA

[@jacktorrance7639]

This was very funny. I enjoyed it. Very funny.

[@XykuJoxa]

Best video I've ever seen.

[@bigglesharrumpher4139]

Pretty sure the boiling water would sterilise the bucket! this guy is informative as well as comic genius!

[@mattieduffy8163]

Fantastic entertainment;you've just got to love this chap.

[@WhiteTrashTrailer]

>> can you drink that? Yes. >>not methanol? It's not methanol. >>greatz off holland GruB Gott

[@davesmeath94]

Homebrew grains whiskey

[@Motivationalink]

LMFAO!!! THIS GUY IS SUPER FUNNY AND A JOY TO WATCH!!!! LOL😂😂😂🤣. Thanks for the video. Awesome!

[@manisony5503]

Hi bro ur reaction was awesome.. Keep going on.

[@garymitchell9859]

Really funny yet very informative and to the point. Hope you do more!!! Thanks.

[@holamovie9343]

oh my god this was edited pro level

[@RealXFool]

I was gonna write that xD

[@itshd3897]

Could you do the same prodded with 100% juice ??? And it turn out the same ?

[@BattleToads]

Great video, but according to my hydrometer readings, I have no problem getting baker's yeast up to 11% alcohol.

[@TomRiddleMeThisSpock]

BattleToads Fleischmann?

[@jacksonschulte4208]

I appreciate the clarity of this video. Pretty difficult to muck up with these directions.

[@mickeboy1000]

What would be the difference if you used an airlock?

[@danglenut1729]

I plan on making two things with this. A very simple sugar wine like what you did, and strictly use it for mixing in my morning orange juice, to make a more economical streamlined version of the Mimosa. The other is mead. I bought two of those turn key easy flow bee hives because I can't afford to buy bulk honey all the time If I am getting wasted on mead year round. I was going to use Altotecs TurboCarbon and TurboClear to tighten up the colors, taste and smell. I would think it'd be more important for the sugar wine because of it's role as a mixer and you'd obviously want a very inert flavor and scent profile. Cheap is my #1 goal. I am tired of buying malt liquor when I could be getting drunk on better quality, home made booze. Whoops I rambled...My question is have you used those two products from Altotec? If so what do you think? Would you also recommend adding some potassium sorbate to kill off unwanted fermentation?

[@RomanH1984]

Looks like the best way to wear suspenders.

[@tracibeacer670]

You would make a good actor..And a brilliant voice actor..Look in to it !!

[@slaplapdog]

This was very well done !

[@137bob3d]

you done good with the section on types of yeast and the resulting % ranges

[@tamilcultureincanada8836]

You are bloody good thanks

[@Alwis-Haph-Rytte]

I've got some turbo coming in the mail. This is the one for fruit and sugar. I'm going to test it out, but even if it's just a mixer, that's fine. I can save my pint water bottles and add a packet of flavoring that's for the bottles. I don't like how cloudy that looked, so I'll clarify with some egg whites. I wanted to make some plum wine, but couldn't fine juice. I seen prune juice and thought it would be like raisins. The bread yeast used up every drop of sugar. It's sour and needs more flavors added for a 2nd ferment. I've added apple juice, peaches and sugar. When I get the turbo I'll add some and see what it does, LOL I'm wondering if prune juice added like raisins would be a good substitute in some recipes.

[@3bydacreekside]

How'd it go?

[@mainmanbumfuzz8983]

It should be noted, in a LOT of countries, using sugar alone is illegal. Not that we care, but most countries require fruit to be added.

[@corradoprizzi7559]

It's great to hear you cousins say: "Take the temperature of the water" LMFAO Nice vid, cousin

[@askimbalim11]

Underrated

[@edwinmcnew4389]

Wow thanks! That’s awesome!

[@KM-ws8qs]

You're a riot! Very good, & thanks for the video! Update: After getting a like on the comment, Watched video again. Still priceless. You gotta get your own show

[@andrewmcgregor9691]

VIRAL INDEED and Thanks for the INFORNATIVE CONTENT :) good job and God bless

[@antoniorplatero]

do you think it would Taste better with a little less sugar and some more fruit in there?

[@garyphillips2408]

I love your humour 😃👍🙏✌️

[@wanton-strumpet]

this had me laughing, it was hard to pay attention so had to watch twice. that's such a rare thing, keep up the good work!!

[@kipl3380]

I desolved 10 pounds of sugar in warm water added 24hr turbo yeast let sit for 14 days and what im left with is an alcohol that wont freeze .so tastse like alcohol and smells like alcohol but a cup of it wont freeze even after 8 hours in the freezer

[@PankajYadav-ht3lt]

Hi I am from India and I made it 😎

[@vicky2mauj]

Where you got that yeast? I tried with baker's yeast but alcohol level was not beyond 5%. Turbo yeast isn't available with Indian online market, and for placing order on international site, I'm afraid that custom department will interrogate.

[@nikocurri831]

Need to do one with a brandy from concentrate juice

[@andrewyek]

why not using air lock ?

[@barrytipton1179]

If you put carbon in it before fermentation and use a two part fining u will end up with a clear wine bit like weak vodka

[@Jadee95]

Thats some Kilju alright!

[@access2whites474]

Yeah I like to mix mine with grape juice and hey honestly bread yeast, they have done a study and it HAS made up to 12% its just the flavor is undesired to wine snobs. We are not wine snobs. I remember when I was a kid like 16 and I made my first batch and took it to a party and the people were skeptical at first and it had them floored by the end of the night, then they began to make it after.

[@jacobpearson7818]

Gore

[@FoamingPipeSnakes]

Decent wine or ale yeast is super cheap and tastes way better than bread yeast. Just get that. Don't have to be a snob to pay 1.00 for some yeast.

[@chancefitzgerald7740]

Great video, you should be in show business as you are a natural. Thanks

[@Cambria399]

This is so funny... I was LOLing so hard when we got to 12 fingers my spousal unit had to come have a looksee too! BUT...Ummm I'm a biochemist. I wonder if there might be some nutrients in the yeast packet that should be left behind by distilling. Boron/Borax for example. Yeast need a pinch but it is often used as a pH buffer in higher quantity for many applications like this. A little is ok but drinking in quantity will add up to trouble. other thoughts have I too. I want you to know that it is ok if you say one half or half n half or hefalumps. I think that commenter is a little half vast hissownself donchano

[@neshobanakni]

Very well done, especially the third hand! As for the flavor, add sugar free koolaid or some other energy drink powder.

[@synchro505]

Dinkum Aussie sent me. This is pure gold! Cheers Bill! 🎃

[@pgprentice]

What no SG readings? How will you ever know what your ABV is? The packet of yeast could claim 50% .. The hydrometer is your friend and like a tape and a scale for fishing, will keep you honest! :D

[@johndeeregreen4592]

This yeast normally finishes off at 18%-20%. It's pretty consistent.

[@anne-aleaciaventressi4369]

I had to save it u r the man

[@omardude39]

Your voiceover is very clear, but it also sounds like Doug, the funny golden retriever out of the Pixar film "Up!". He's voiced by Bob Peterson, and you also sound very similar haha

[@lightingstruck6893]

tks for the video .. when you say put in the room temperature.. exactly what is the temperature... cos i am living in Asia and room temperature is very different. Can you let me know the temperature. Thanks !

[@dog118118]

For 20% they say 18 to 24 degrees Celsius

[@newzealandwarriors6275]

So, If I were to caramelize double the amount of sugar needed to produce the 20% alcohol, Boil with just enough water to give it a nice consistency whilst adding some good coffee for added flavour. Then cool before adding some Turbo Yeast, would this become a 20% Caramel/Coffee liqueur when fermenting is complete?..

[@FoamingPipeSnakes]

Probably. Did you ever try it?

[@sayanchatterjee7987]

Hello sir I am from India technically speaking we aren't get turbo yeast easily so there is any alternative for turbo I m sorry bother you but it's true there is mostly baker yeast in market eighter we call at eBay

[@mikeford4089]

Would cold crashing get it more clear?

Useful and entertaining video :) Does anyone know how long that brew lasts for in those jars, and is there any chance they could possibly explode? Thanks
