OP Here,

I am trying this recipe for the very first time and all seems to go according to plan. I would also mention that I put in for each 2 cups of sugar, a tbl spoon of yeast. I will wait 3 more days and give you the results when I am done.

Stay tuned

I sure hope your doing that with brewers yeast and not bread yeast

I tasted the alcohol. It's really not bad at all! Tastes a bit like those 0.5% coolers but with more alcohol. I am pleasantly surprised because I expected the taste to be far worst.

All in all, it is an effective recipe for really cheap for those hard financial times we see every now and then.

Cheers!

I do this shit all the time. Always use champagne yeast. You can get it at any beer and wine making shop for like a dollar a packet.

Did it. Shit was so cash.

You might want to try more sugar in the recipe if you use Champaigine yeast (it's specifically bred to live in higher concentrations of alcohol).

1. sanitize everything with a 1 tablespoon bleach/1 gallon water mix. Let sit for 15 min.
2. poke a few pin holes in the balloon to vent the Co2
3. Don't use juice that has malic acid or preservatives. It will kill the yeast.

I just found an alternative way. I thought I'd share

Fucking idiot, buying a fifth of Velicoff for $5 is cheaper and less of a hassle than making that shit. and it gets you more fucked up.

yeah. old guy here, agreeing with 406. you dont make that shit because its cheap, you make it cause alcohol is unavailable, like on navy ships, remote forward bases, prisons, etc. the cheapest fith of rot gut vodka at 5 bucks has 3 times the alcohol, costs less, and will give you less of a hang over.

and most likely not fucking kill you.

How much yeast is that?

just a package but i can vouche for that way as my friend and i used it but he just used stright water and some other shit no juice involved and it tasted like shit but it was prettly alcoholic after a few weeks.

Pruno. Oh wow. Classy

If female just get your ass down to a bar, if male try a gaybar. As an added bonus you might recieve a roofy. Just have to be sure a wingman is there to save your ass and take you home.

Enjoy.

I just did the math on that
thats 2 gallons of %40 (80 proof) alcohol for $15

the cheapest and easiest i've found has been the 'tall boys' of Tilt which is like 7.2 'shots' for $2~3

You won't get anywhere near 14% alcohol with bakers yeast though. You'd have to use turbo or champagne yeast from a brewstore.
Look into making your own beer if you want good booze for cheap. After the initial cost of the equipment you can pull of ~5gal. batches for less than $20.

Agreeing with this.

I can get cheap-ass red wine for 1€/L (even cheaper on sales at the end of the seasons, like 0.45€/1.5L), it doesn't taste like shit and is drinkable overall. If you mix it with hot tea and drink it slowly, you'll get shitfaced after two liters and don't need any preparation time or "equipment".

Stuff like that or even Kilju is only profitable in countries with insane alcohol taxes like Finland. And even there, the only people who drink this shit don't have the spare room, patience or money for vodka making equipment, so they just take the easiest option.
