Inmate Brew Tasting and a Few Updates

Well folks--it has finally come... The day to taste the three inmate brews I've had fermenting for the last month. In this video, I taste test all three:

1) Apple Cider (100% juice) with sugar, raisin juice, and bread yeast
2) Grape (100% juice) with sugar, raisin juice, and champagne yeast
3) Cranberry Cocktail (27% juice) with sugar, raisin juice, and bread yeast

Enjoy! I get a little bonkers towards the end--they went straight to my head! :-)

Very educational. I'm thinking about taking this to the next level. Buy a pallet or so of juice (2-3L bottles) around 200kg of sugar should do the job. around 200 air locks. I have fermentation pots to fill to do the extra juice. Then buy a small swimming pool, fill it up and call it epicdrinktime.

I am thinking of putting mine into bottles, but I want to add a fining agent to help clear it, hopefully, in the bottles (I forgot to do it before). Would it be OK to add a whirlfloc tablet to the batch after it has finished fermenting, but before I add it to the bottles. Cheers.

@rtyrtyrtyus No--don't use whirlfloc in these--whirlfloc tablets (irish moss) are meant to be boiled to get them to work right. You'd want to use something like isinglass or gelatin to clear these out. I have found that just letting them sit for a few weeks works great too, no fining agents needed!

@terpsichoreankid surprisingly not very much info on it, if any.. they want you to buy a turbo pack with smaller yields...pfft..

back to trial and error... heh hopefully I'll get some booze out of this soon!

[terpsichoreankid]

@MaTchBoOkPoEt I'm actually not familiar with turbo yeast--never used it myself. Check out the manufacturers website--most of them will give yeast specifics and research information/findings.

[MaTchBoOkPoEt]

i got a question .. can't find a strait answer on..

 how much turbo yeast should you use in a 4litre jug?

thanks in advance
