@Sezar538 Please don’t mess with so much sugar in these brews. You can actually make yourself very sick. I’ve done it myself. 2 cups for 3L of real juice, and no more. You can’t make booze with this method. 🙂
@CraigTube thank you so much for answering Mr Craig i do add 2 normal cups to 1 liter and it works fine for me and i get kinda high level of alcohol, but one day i added like 4 cups for 1 liter thought i wil get more high level of alcohol by adding more sugar and when it finished i didn’t got the same result that i had with 2 cups of sugar, it was very bad with not much alcohol, i just wondering if adding more sugar this might make things worse?
@IsThisSumBattleToads It will clear pretty well on it’s own over time. You can use gelatin to clear it. Weirdbeer has a video where he explains how that is done. Check that out.
So after my last batch, everything went great except for all the sediment in the brew. What should you do about that? I tried to run it through a coffee filter, but that would have taken FOREVER. Please tell me there’s a more efficient way to filter this stuff…
@adamsXruin For sure. Ask at your home brew shop and see what they’ve got. Ask about potassium metabisulphite and potassium sorbate. The wine kits use them both.

@ExtremeRacing Correct. Worm while fermenting. After that, stick it in the fridge.

@CraigTube Thanks , but if i keep it in a cold place the fermenting will take more time right ?

@Sezar538 Well, I add 2 cups to 3 L. Just break it down to the amount you want to make.

@Aidsus In my province, the drinking age was lowered to 18+ in 1971. Yoohoo!

@thejman36 Maybe around 4 or 5 percent.

I advocate underage drinking. I say 18 and up.
If you’re old enough to die for your country, then you’re old enough to drink.

@CraigTube Thanks! Do they make a chemical that will stop fermentation that I could pick up at the home brew shop?

@IsThisSumBattleToads Absolutely.

@adamsXruin I would freeze it in the secondary, then thaw and add the gelatin.

OK, so my batch isn’t foaming anymore, but there are small bubbles coming up from the bottom. Does that mean it’s working?
