How to make Alcohol with Sugar and Water

49 Comments

1. Great channel dude.

2. Can i do this without an airlock and if yes how?

3. Very informative. If you were to do this with molasses and sugar combo wouldn't you get the " mash" for rum ?
   Also old Mr Johnson used a rubber stopper with a hole in it that he put a small hose into and ran the end of the hose into a glass of water to indicate when fermentation was done.
   Just FYI the best homemade wine I've had was made with wild plums and blackberry.
   Do you have any suggestions as to what kind of yeast to use and where to order it from? The plum trees are in bloom now and the blackberry will follow. There should be a time in June when I can get both at the same time from roadside patches both here and down in love county. Are the yeasts that you order more capable of producing a better tasting wine than bread yeast?
   How did you get so knowledgeable in this subject? And I really appreciate your feedback. Would love to drink a few with you sometime. Cheers

4. Let the man share his knowledge.

5. I wonder if you would have used a thing of high fructose corn syrup the yeast would have gone crazy

6. I haven't drank in quite a while, but your videos are simply awesome. Keep it up!!

9. G'day,

   Great video!

   I recently made a hard lemonade and ginger beer and almost ready to bottle them. Can you pls advise what sweetener I could use to back sweeten them to add sweetness without increasing the ABV and over carbonating them and creating bombs? I will be priming the bottles to carbonate them.

   Also, to kill off the yeast to stop the carbonation process and preventing exploding bottles, do you recommend pasteurising the bottles?

   TIA!

10. Preservatives: bad for yeast. Just learned something new.

    No I'm not an alcoholic, I'm an alcohol technician. This is science, damn it!

11. Perfect reserve alcohol

12. Amazing tutorial ! Jajaja. Now i can end My homework !

13. what if you put dilute juice in at the end

14. He's just a man with a camera and a whole load of knowledge on making home made alcohol and that's what i like to see it's not all of this high end tech stuff just a simple camera and a man with smart and intelligent brain.

15. I love your vids! Happy to see you look healthier……are u related to Oliver Platt? Love u bro! Please stay healthy….no more sugar besides this…..I love the porn stache

16. I plan to make a batch of this myself, but this is the first time I have ever done it. I don’t have a hydrometer, so it’s probably gonna be a little difficult for me to realize if the fermentation is stuck or moving properly. Are there any tips you can give to help understand what to look for in the process? Also should I add nutrient at the beginning to help prevent it from stopping

17. Def gotta hydrate the yeast first to activate it properly.

18. Why not add a starch for sweetness?

19. Lots of talk…no booze.

20. Tried this for fun tasted pretty good after adding some stuff too it, thanks man.

21. Good video.👍🏾

22. Thanks for a helpful video on this topic. It is always more satisfying to sample one's own brew rather than merely always have the commercial products. I have recently attempted brewing a batch from apple juice and trying it a little differently this time. I have used only half a cup of brown sugar and a table spoon of bakers yeast in two litres of 100% apple juice. It is bubbling away quite quickly with little sludge developing on the top. I am using a lose cap rather than a bung. It may develop a little less alcohol than usual but I hope to reduce the carbs as much as possible. I am not sure of this batch will complete all of it's possible fermenting sooner than usual due to a little less sugar added. Otherwise I usually let it go for ten days before decanting. Anyways time will have to tell, I have not used brown sugar before only refined, and usually one full cup. Thanks again for enjoyable video.

23. What about using corn syrup or Beano with your regular table sugar? With or with yeast nutrient? Or using lalvin 1118?

24. Maybe 3 pounds or 4 pounds of sugar would make a higher lvl? Ik when using whole fruits normally 3lbs to one gallon or 4lbs. That is pretty cool for water and sugar thou thanks!

25. You need nutrients most of the time you'll get a stall fermentation with sugar and water you can add tomato paste yeast nutrient or dead yeast Halls

26. thanks for the response on previous comment i watched it and it ggaved me a lot thanks once again but i have question about flavouring cuz i dont have option to buy wine flavour or smth like that

27. Oxygen in the water 🌊 when adding the yeast must be done

28. U look like this guy from this prison movie idk his name but he was a killer

29. I'm here on V.A. Drs orders. He asked if I bought hootch or made my own? best prescription i ever had. I can retire on it.

30. yo, I saw this dude right, he puts like candy, and stuff in his liquor like for example, Carmel candy in rum, do you think I can do this with this batch of Alcohol? and additionally can I use Turbo yeast?

31. 👍‼️

32. Awesome was searching for this as I need to try an experiment co2 for my planted aquarium and wine for me 2 drink…🍻

33. Your awesome bro keep it up

34. Add tablespoon of tomato paste (for nutrients) and juice from half a lemon (for ph)……well that's what I use for 4-5 gallons so less if only making a gallon.
    Cheers bruh, also in vegas….. best and most stable temp I've found is the bathroom tub in the middle of the house. Around 73ish year long in my pad.

    Edit: think ale yeast is for lower temps…..

35. im 15 and I really want alcohol + I dont wanna buy from kids at my school. is it better to make it than having an adult buy it for me?

36. Can I use straight up bread as yeast? Or anything else.

37. I added 1 cup of sugar to 1.5 liters of water, does that only apply to juice or will it work anyway?
    How much suger is needed per 1 liter of water to reach 8-10%

38. Well, chances are I would drink the whole gallon.

39. What if I don’t have yeast?

40. Ledgend m8 nice one haha

41. This is how introverted kids get drunk

42. I added a one part cordial to my mix. Hope it will still be okay 😂😂

43. okay , i couldn't understand but thank you for advice you are AWESOME

44. I love how you keep in and explain failure. Great teaching!

45. When you're waiting for it to ferment, does it make a really noticeable smell? Just wondering. Thanks for the vids!!

46. Why did it explode when I shook it and fizzy like it was carbonated

47. So if you make this is is drinkable? if i were to make a cocktail with it would it taste good?

48. Really helpful. Thank you.

49. Can I just add coffee and sugar to the alcohol while drinking it for flavour?
