What are you waiting for?
Pic related I'm trying some crazy stuff: 2/3 pilsner wort + 1/3 fresh grape/pineapple juices, also batches using Ale yeast and a Cider yeast.
Hoping for a fruty sour beer.

what the frick is even going on there dude, just get some fricking airlocks.
They are all in use right now, so I had to improvise
while it's actively fermenting you dont even need an airlock, keep the lid on until fermentation starts then untwist it a little bit, the positive co2 pressure from fermentation will stop any air getting in.
You're in prison really aren't you anon?
Bro. All you had to do was put the bottle cap on and screw it on a tiny bit. The co2 creates a protective blanket over the liquid. Your soda bottle bongs are pretty funny and creative, so props for that.
The air of the CO2 protects the liquid
This is moronic as frick just buy a carboy and some air locks, or at least the airlocks.
I'm just experimenting with small batches, all my big fermenters and airlocks are in use
Sure, you're definitely not underage trying to hide it from your parents. I totally believe you.
I distilled some fermented sugar water and now I have 97 percent ethanol I don’t really know what to do with it. Smells sort of like pineapple
What kind of still gets you 97% abv?
I don’t know I just did it with a pot and a probe and then took the density and compared. I wanted to see if I could do it
Not a pot a burner and then a flask with some glass to collect drops. I don’t know the names
Based DIY chemist
a column still is the only thing that will get you to 97%ABV, but a pot still will make much better tasting moonshine
fricking kek, i personally have made a hole in the lid and stuck some fish tank tubing in and ran it to a pill bottle with water in it but this is next level.
the real problem here is thats not nearly enough brew for even one person.
I just upgraded from 15 gallons to 30 gal, 10 pounds of sugar per 5 gal jug
Mirin. What's brewing, anon? I'm about to keg a tripel and have a belgian pale ale on the way.
that batch was just brown sugar, the one i'm on now has some apple cider and cinnamon sticks in it but still mostly brown sugar which it making between 14% and 17% ABV which has prevented me from using my brain to come up with a better recipe. I might try George Washington's beer recipe to see what they were drinking back in the day
>What are you waiting for?
currently fermenting some dough to make cinnamon buns with. waiting about 90min.
My first time fermenting. Most is about done so when i put them in the fridge, can i put the weight out? Or does it still need to be submerged in the brine?
I would keep the brine, it will conserve it much better, and the brine is delicious, I like to take some sips.
i wont throw the brine away. Im talking about the fermenting weight on top of the stuff thats pushing it down. Really annoying if you just want to snack a few pieces.
I guess it will be fine to take it out.
I never use any weight in my fermented and pickled food. I just stuff every jar very tight and then fill the whole jar with brine.
how long do you usually ferment stuff for?
once its in the fridge the fermination stops, and so does everything else so you dont really need the weight to keep it in the brine.
i just mde some kombucha. first ferment was great and didnt kill me. did a 2nd batch and am doing the 2nd ferment but now theres this foamy shit at the top of all my bottles and its looking kinda sketch.
wish me luck.
Why does every fermentation thread have people fermenting with Black person-tier equipment like they're in prison. Enjoy your microplastics.
dude glass carboy are expensive, heavy and fragile
If $50 is going to break the bank maybe you shouldn't be drinking anyway
if i had $50 to waste i'd just buy a bottle of whiskey
What? They're cheap on Amazon and usually 1/4 inch thick glass. You can get 4 1 gallons for under $50. You'd have to be a moron to break one that doesn't have a rare built-in bubble/defect. Stop making excuses for your own failings. This is why I hate poor people. They don't understand currency.
i'm used 6 5gal jugs which would cost me $300 and at some point i'd have to pick it up full of liquid and that's fricking heavy and also just trying to clean it out risks breaking it.
Plus at only 14% ABV it's not really that much of a problem being in plastic, now 97% ABV only should ever touch glass
You're picking up 54 lbs of hooch and expect glass to be as durable as steel. You're a moron. Siphon your shit, tilt it on its side and use pressurized spray to clean it. There's no reason you have to pick it up.
so just run back and forth 1 gal at a time filling it in the first place? i'm home brewing, i make it in my kitchen and carry it to its final resting place until i rack it into another 5gal jug
Maybe they are in prison, anon.
I'm currently making mead, started about 2 or 3 months ago. Fementation ended probably a month and a half ago and I racked out of my main fermenter into 4 smaller carboys to get it off the lees.
I'm waiting for it to clarity and my question is do I have to continually rack off the lees? Will this produce permanent off flavors or affect the clarification?
Ghettoest fermentation i've seen yet
Don't let anyone giving you shit get to you. I appreciate your MacGyver setup. These fricking women want everything to be pretty and right out of Martha Stuarts catalogue. They're the same buttholes who hang Eat, Pray, Love signs all over their kitchen and fill their counters with novelty shit so they don't have room to cook on. Your setup is simple and effective. That's all that fricking matters. These trannies are just upset because the HRT has their fake veganas moist.
