Go easy on the cinnamon and nutmeg, they are potent spices. Adding honey adds fermentable sugars to your cider but honey take longer to ferment. Most meads take months to ferment.

Started the process in the first video before I even saw this. Already had the cup of sugar in and was figuring out how much yeast I needed before I realized that the bottle I grabbed is only 15% juice. I grabbed a cranberry blend thinking it would help mask the taste of the alcohol. Still pushing ahead with it because I'm past the point of no return, but at least the cup of the original juice I salvaged was good, and the jug only cost about 3$ anyway.

[@PlattR]

Back for a final report - success! It definitely tastes and feels like wine. I think giving it that extra week really made the difference. Here's what I used, in case anyone wants a reference: * 64 FL bottle of cranberry-raspberry juice * 1 cup of raw sugar (all I had on hand) * Maybe an 8th of a teaspoon of the regular Active Dry yeast (grabbed the wrong one) * A few squirts of honey (not sure how much I added, but I figured it'd help with taste and fermentation) Now I have to figure out what to transfer it into, but I'm glad it worked!

Hi, I saw your other video on homebrewing safety, but I'm really worried about botulism after what I've read. I used pineapple juice (from a carton, not a plastic bottle or a can), and the yeast in my drink has stopped bubbling on day 4 (now just to leave it to ferment until day 7) and it's in an airtight bottle. On day 1 it was in a regular bottle with the cap loose, but I moved it to an airtight bottle to not allow air in. I'm really concerned about getting botulism from this, what are the chances of that happening, and how can I tell if my drink would give me botulism?

[@PlattR]

Botulism is a bigger concern with canned juices. Botulism thrives in a low oxygen setting. You don't want to leave the container air-tight. You need to release the CO2 being produced. I don't know of any test for botulism.

[@hzkdsg1257arg]

Hey mate. Just discovered your Chanel and I see you reply to every comment wich is pretty nice. I’ve got a few questions for you 1-Can you use any type of container to do the fermentation? 2-is there some chance that the container explodes or implode because of the pressure of fermentation ? 3- can you leave the container to do the fermentation in a place that there is a variable temperature of between 0°C and -20°C (32f to -4f)? 4-how much yeast (in grams) and sugar do you recommend to put in for 1L of fruit juice? 5- last question promise , can you use “Instant yeast” to do the booze? Thanks my friend! -Zach

[@PlattR]

!. Food safe plastic containers or glass will work just fine. 2. Yes, CO2 is produced by the yeast and can build up in the container. Make sure to let it breath. 3. You want to maintain a temp of at least 55F or the yeast will start to shut down the process. 4. 2-3 grams of yeast per gallon 5. Yes

So for the juice would you leave the cap hovering over the top or lightly twisted on?

Thanks enjoyed the video. Simple is best. I usually do a cider (actually bottled 100 percent Apple juice and 1 and 1/4 cup sugar) with some wine yeast go about 8 days and cap it and stick it in the fridge. Still bubbly and not fermented to dryness. I have been meaning to try some ice distilling (not distilling but called that) and fortify a batch with another ice distilled batch. Should push that ABV up way high:)

[@PlattR]

I actually have a video on the subject: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIewl5d5arhofa8

[@dillontracey4030]

One of the comments on the last video said something about freezing it, scraping off the top layer, and freezing it again and again which will somehow make the alcohol content higher, which seemed strange but then again I don't have the slightest clue about any of this, so I was just wondering if there was any truth to it?

[@PlattR]

There is a concept called "freeze distillation" where you would take an alcoholic beverage like wine or cider and through it in the freezer. Once the ice starts to form, you would remove it. Since alcohol freezes at a lower temperature that water, you would be removing water and not alcohol. If you cut the volume be half you would be conceptually double the ABV.

because you are using bread yeast, you don't have to be quite as careful with temperature. Room temp is fine.

[@johnctatum3999]

Hey bud, do you have any videos on decanting and siphoning? If not those would be super helpful! Thanks!

[@PlattR]

Here is a follow up video where I think I touch on the topic: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXqceZqYapppj68

[@deedledee5611]

Will this make the room smell like alcohol?

[@PlattR]

Not really

[@h3g8a1e7]

It smells more like fruity yeast than alcohol

[@infoscholar5221]

The Raisin thing will work, but there's a 50% chance you will end up with vinegar. If you do end up with "wine", though, don't be looking for a quick buzz; with such a light yeast bill, you're looking at 2-3 % ABV. So use yeast, if you want an enjoyable drink. Hell, spend two bucks on a homebrewer site and but some Wine Yeast. Just add more sugar. Protip: also, throw in another 99 cents and get a proper airlock. Great Channel, Platt.

[@PlattR]

Thanks for watching.

[@jesser007]

Try squashed un-peeled oranges, handful of sugar, a 2 day old damp breads slice in a plastic bag, under your bed, 8- 10 days. I'd be curious to know what a true fan of the "spirited beverage" thinks of a tried and true recipe.

[@PlattR]

I am intrigued. I have seen variations of this recipe but just straight orange juice may be too acidic. Could be a good video though.

[@jesser007]

The most common hooch in the U.S.

Bread? Wouldnt it mold

[@jesser007]

@@YungmasterG Well right before it molds, comes the yeast. So don't let it mold. One needs the yeast to ferment.

[@jesser007]

@Grwmkegthr LAstname Well i won't argue with that. He emphasized how he was a connoisseur of the Spirits, and was wanting and willing to try new or different recipes if anyone had any. I had one. He asked, I acknowledged.

Ooo a fellow Vikings fan! Hi!

[@Hey_you_guys]

When I make wine I do it in a 5 gallon bucket with a rubber band holding a towel over the top.

[@NHLinden]

same idea? how long do you leave it ferment?

[@lorddeath6300]

Steven Schmidt I do the same thing but instead use a non scented garbage bag to keep the warm heat in and put the food pale in the closet wrapped in blankets or towels to keep the brew warm and let it sit for a week or sometimes 3/4 days depending on what yeast your using

[@extendedp1]

What about using organic grape juice? Then sweetening it with some extra frozen juice concentrate? Also, using Concord grape juice…

[@PlattR]

You can use any of those or mix all three.

[@chanceDdog2009]

If you add some rasins or dry cherry to the first fermentation it gives the wine a better mouth feel. Edit: dried cherries 🍒🍒

[@c0rpster462]

Raisins ✅

[@bloodrushblush]

Would 100% apple juice work?

[@PlattR]

It sure will

[@jimihendrixLysergic]

Sugar free apple juice? (Still addimg sugar though) and can it be before 10 days like was said in o.g. video

[@thegiftedone]

Your awesome bro……..love to tip ya at the bar that u tend at? Which casino?….cheers mate!

[@PlattR]

Covid Crazyness killed The Strip. I lift the casino about 1 1/2 years ago.

[@abhiramshastri6109]

What was the volume of that pack of yeast he used?

[@PlattR]

1/4 oz.

[@kevinmelicant9566]

Trided it man. Let sit 2 weeks. Wine flavor at first aftertast of grape. Good. 🎉😊😊😊

[@PlattR]

Glad to hear it worked out.

[@emptyaimee]

I quit drinking a year ago but I’m gonna need this for this lockdown 😅

[@PlattR]

That's the spirit

[@arjunnayak7146]

Hey Mr. Platt. Great videos. One quick question... At what temperature should the fermentation liquid be stored? Room temperature? Is cooler or hotter better?

[@PlattR]

Room temperature will work.

[@RedInferno112]

Another fun, cheap way for me to drink underage. Have you ever tried using pure, saturated sugar water to brew? I might give it a try! Great videos, thanks for the help Platt!

[@PlattR]

I did and it went a little something like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/boOTnp-Kf5Wjl9k

[@bananas4sale]

May I ask how old are you? I’m thinking of making some fruit juice alcohol for the family for fun.

[@cameronhansen2324]

Yo just wondering, is it required to refrigerate after fermentation is done or can you open it and start drinking. Great vid!

[@PlattR]

You technically don't have too but I would. The cold will help clear up the wine and stop yeast activity. Active yeast in your wine could lead to an upset stomach.

[@peagea1888]

Platt my dude, i just want to say thank you for saving me so much money and sparking an interest in something creative.. I've made this countless times to perfection... Quick question. Can i substitute the sugar for maple syrup ? If i make sure the syrup is properly dissolved in the juice

[@PlattR]

You sure can.

[@Filip3silva]

My family makes wine in a traditional Azorean way and I don't think we let any air out whatsoever we close the barrels but every now and then open them to let it breathe. We also don't use yeast... I don't even know what that is but I assume is what makes the fermentation happen. So if that is it then the own grapes have it that's why we don't use. Good video though and I guess I'll try that process out of curiosity

[@PlattR]

Best of luck
