There was a thread here years ago on making hobo wine. Basically you got whatever juice you wanted, added sugar and some bread yeast, and waited. After a couple weeks you had some nasty prison hooch. it was good fun. Anyway, I just kind of kept doing it over the years. I am not a huge drinker, but I enjoy making it (also my wife is a lush). It always gets used up and my friends dig it. These days I go all posh and use 75 cent wine yeast in place of the bread yeast. WAY better. For this lot, I made three gallons of orange wine and a gallon of Tropcana Twister Tropical Punch because it was like 55 cents and I was curious. I had to add 7 cups of sugar to the OJ, the punch was already almost sweet enough. So for about 22 bucks, I am going to have (if my math is correct) the equivalent of 25 bottles of cheap hooch. Remember: 20grams of sugar per liter=1% alcohol. I'm shooting for 10-12%.

cider is the snobby upturned-noise wannaba upper-class person of hobo wine, it's literally just apple hobo wine and only gets a pass because for decades it was the predominant apple-based product

I make cider sometimes too. Or sometimes I do batches of beer, but use apple juice instead of water. Apparently this is called Graf and Stephen King thought up the concept in the Dark Tower series.

If you follow this recipe with apple you'll get appelwine. Which is cider without the bubbles. You'll want to bottle and add a little sugar to the bottle to reawaken the yeast sobtheybcan fart carbonation into the brew if you want cider. Appelwine is really good though.

I have had most of the wines from bumwine.com, and am fully Cisco certified, so I consider myself well versed. If Tropicana punch and yeast in an old mayo jug replicates Cisco Red I’ll put five on this

Everything I've made before had been consistently good. Especially the blackberry and peach. Better than Cisco for sure.

You could get a distill setup and make some stronger stuff, and maybe go blind.

I am interested in making my own booze. Can you format the OP a little to make phone reading a little easier please? Also, do you have any reference sources or stuff on the method you've used?

I made a few batches of appelvine or whatever. I switched to wine yeast after the first batch. I found apple juice concealed the cheapness more than my grape juice wine. If I can offer one tip, it is that watermelon wine is best left to the pros. My buddy tried his hand at it and got a milk white poison. Supposedly, that's how it turns out, but I think better sterilisation techniques might have helped.

way back in the day i would use frozen grape concentrate, some distilled water, sugar, and bread yeast, shake it up in a jug, poke some holes in a balloon, and stick it on top for an air lock. worked great, but man did i black out a lot

I tried doing this one time and it was too sweet. I guess I should have let it ferment longer.

Me and my buds tried this in high school but we never got to sample the fruits of our labor. One of us was elected to store it during fermentation (not me) and they ended up tossing it

I make cider. Lots of it. I use a 3 gallon water jug with with a hole in the cap for my air lock. Champagne yeast gets it up to 14 percent. Instead of adding sugar i toss im two or three cans of frozen apple juice concentrate. After it is all done fermenting i toss another can or two in and bottle it in sterile 2 liter soda bottles, they can take an insane amount of pressure. After about a day or so the bottles are carbonated and i toss em in the fridge to put the yeast to sleep. Applesnots fucked around with this message at 17:32 on Aug 20, 2018 |

If you want to add some kinda pumpkin spice or apple pie spice, pour it in a coffee filter and tie it off. Toss it in a pan of boiling juice concentrate with a bit of water. Add the liquid when you bottle.

It was an Isaac thread, OP. It's in the goldmine. I'm pretty sure he used tomato juice/paste as the base.

Pretty common for distilling. Can't remember if the Australian sensation was making wine but he definitely had a still going. I used to do a bunch of this poo poo and still do from time to time. Started at about fifteen for my highschool science fair. No one said anything which when I looked back on it was weird. Now I think about it the first time I got at all inebriated was my dads fruit wine, so it's a proud family tradition.
