==========
I'll paste my go to guide that was given to me by a member of this sub:
I like high ABV hooch, and I have a couple of rules of thumb for grams per liter or cups per gallon, the easiest one to start with is probably 3 cups of sugar per gallon for a 14% ABV hooch. You can adjust up or down from there, so 2 cups per gallon is around 9% and 1 cup per gallon is around 4%.
A little tip if you want to push your yeast to high ABV brews: 'step feeding' is where you start with about half of the sugar then add the rest after your yeast is well established and bubbling away. If your sugar concentration is too high to start with the fermentation can either take a very long time to start or not start at all.
So, a basic recipe would look like this:
Alcobase Extreme 23% Turbo Yeast 16.4 oz. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008Y0NWX0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_mAEBDb2KZ3Y8Fó
Fantastic post overall!!!
> Remove balloon and slowly pour into separate container, careful to leave dead yeast at the bottom of container
Use a coffee filter if you're going this route. Otherwise, using a siphon or puncturing a hole near the bottom of the container is much more effective.
> 64 fl oz bottle Great Value 100% juice
Are you sure this doesn't have preservatives that may affect the wine? It's definitely usable, but perhaps Welch's or an organic brand would produce a higher-quality yield.
> 1 packet Fleischmann's Baker's Yeast
While baker's yeast works well, consider that real wine yeast is just as cheap, and is on Amazon. Wine yeast produces a better yield, and if you can get it for the same price as baker's yeast, I highly reccomend it.
Basic chemical nutrient mixes are fairly cheap, but you can also use things like tomato paste or fruit purees. Some people use raisins, but everything I've read says that they make really mediocre nutrients. Probably still better than nothing.
Distillation isn't practical for me, so I haven't experimented with turbo yeast/high ABV hooch, but if you're determined to hit maximum ABV you might need some equipment to aerate your brew. This page has some info about the science behind aeration from a beer brewing perspective.
Whatever you decide to try, take before and after readings with your hygrometer and let us know how it comes out!
'Super wine yeast' plus yeast nutrient from the same company. I think using something a bit more... sophisticated might produce a better flavour but it is really fast acting and tolerates high alcohol levels.
First bubbles usually occur about half an hour after adding it and within a day or two (took slightly longer this time because it was colder) it is foaming like crazy with a bubble in the airlock about every 0.5 seconds. It's become even faster now than it was when I filmed this 5 hours ago.
The price of both of them seems to have gone up by £1 since I ordered though so there may be better options at the moment.
Haha alright, I talked to someone here about drinking lemon extract, I can't vouch for it personally (very alcoholic according to the label, he said it worked pretty well) but it could be worth a try if you aren't worried about gagging a bit
Rice by itself won't ferment much because most of the carbohydrates are undigestible starches. The way sake is made, is that you cultivate a special mold on a portion of the rice which produces enzymes that convert the starches to sugar so that the yeast can digest it.
You can buy a bag of this cultured rice online, and if you mix that with some cooked rice (cool it first so you don't destroy the enzymes), you will produce sugar from rice which can then be made into alcohol.

You can definitely get cheaper heating belts than that, I have one that I paid around £7 for. All it does is supply heat, you wrap it around your container and there's no temperature control or anything so you have to monitor your brew's temp manually (easy if you have a floating thermometer or stick on thermo strip) but it does the job. Mine looks something like this
Not really, sorry... Stay away from Orange Juice. Apple or grape. If you follow the water directions for the juice and add some decent yeast, you'll be fine. I learned all I know about making apple cider from this: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00F0XW3QG/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?ie=UTF8&btkr=1 worth getting the kindle version.
Also, theres some recipes floating around this sub, too.
