You can most certainly make fruit kvass....it's not uncommon for families to make traditional and other varieties if kvass, including fruit, beet, and technically mushroom (it's really kombucha, but my inlaws call it kvass, so that's what I call it too). Hell, you can buy fruit kvass from Russian stores and (mostly) internationally online. And I'd more compare this drink to a fizzy, low alcohol content: kompot, mors, thin vzvar, fruit incorporated medovukha, or, ya know, just fucking fruit kvass, specifically melon berry kvass.

How.. dare.. you.. KVASS IS MADE OF GOD DAMN BREAD!!!

[@dontgiveinfo]

ok. sounds great, but what do you do with the left over fruit?

[@sadly_its_river1806]

Doesn't fermenting fruit result in an alcoholic beverage? Or is it not because it's fermented for a short amount of time?

[@Feetwos]

Depends on the microbes, but generally yes, this will have some level of alcohol in it.

[@p1cube733]

Kvass usually has 0.3 to 1.5% of alcoho so to get drunk you’ll need to drink like three gallons

naw bro make the eastern european Socata… best ever drink. fresh elderflower, 6 lemons, a bunch of sugar, citric acid and some water in a 5 gallon jug. mint is optional. Mix it around every few days for about a week and keep it in direct sunlight. best drink ever ong

[@amnbvcxz8650]

Technically kvas is made only with (black) bread crumbs and sugar (but that takes more than 3 days). Nowadays special bacteria are added to speed up the process. My grandad used to make his kvas each summer, very tasty. It has a faint beer-like taste but way sweeter, tangier and no bitterness. As others said, what you did is braga.

[@trouttickler5065]

@@MichaelIhde69 I’m only half joking when I say that and I don’t have a full understanding of the process but I do alot of work with mycology and seeing how easily contaminated agar plates and grain spawn can get its kinda crazy that you just reliably get no harmful bacteria, from my perspective it’s establishing clean cultures on hope and hippie prayers. It also seems dangerous to just tell people to ferment fruit and drink it without taking any prior sterilization procedures or giving information on what the signs of a bad/contaminated culture are. I’m not an Eastern European local / internet influencer nor have I ever made this l so what do I know.

[@MichaelIhde69]

@@trouttickler5065 yeah things can definitely turn sour quickly with fermenting fruits and sugars. It’s probably not a good idea to glorify this without giving warnings about potentially producing methanol or extremely harmful bacterias or molds.

Just a question. How fermented is this? Can my kids drink this? Or does it have enough alcohol where you can get drunk if you had enough of this?

kvass is made from rye flour, what you made was a european drink too, but it's called "kompot"

It’s NOT kompot. Kompot is made by boiling one type of fruit in sugared water. This ain’t it.

No, botulism *requires* an anaerobic environment, that won't have gone anaerobic in three days. Have to watch out for mold though.

[@Frontline_view_kaiser]

@@MirrimBlackfox I made quite a lot of alcohol and my experience is that if you let your brew sit and not disturb it, even without adding yeast the carbondioxide that forms will have pushed out any oxygen within hours of fermentation.
