un jugo – juice
I have some apple juice and I thought you could have it ferment and after a while have it become alcoholic. is this possible or was that already done..minus the alcoholic part?
If you have unfiltered fresh squeezed apple juice, you have to do nothing. There are enough natural yeasts present in the juice to turn it into hard cider within a week or so.
If I leave home made marmalade in the fridge for a long time moulds begin to appear. if i leave home made fruit juice in the fridge for some time it begins to ferment
Find a preserve recipe book, they normally suggest lots of sugar, added pectin dependent on fruit, and sterilized airtight jars stored in a cool dark place (I use the under-stair cupboard), check how long you can keep them- the less sugar used, the shorter the use by.
It has been over 2 weeks now and the bottle is still bubbling. I used concentrated fruit juice and a 1 gallon bottle. I did not add too much sugar but it keeps fermenting.
Give it a couple more weeks. You don’t have to wait till it stops bubbling completely. In face, if you take some of the bubbling sediment and add it to the next batch, you won’t have to add more yeast to the next batch.
I have never taken alcohol and I am 14.I wanna experience it.How much alocol will there be in the grape juice?When should I drink it (after how much period of time)?-
Note-
it has to become alcohol.THANKYOU.
if you don’t ferment it properly, it could make you sick.
proper wine fermentation is done with sterile containers, with juice that has no preservatives, with specifically grown yeasts.
if you don’t have all of this, you won’t have luck making alcohol… likely it would just grow mold or turn to vinegar… neither of those would be what you want.
And what kind of store bought grape juice must i buy?
Buy the pasteurized kind, not the kind with preservatives. Then, you can leave it in it’s bottle, or if you use the frozen concentrate, dilute it in a bucket or large jar. Remove about 2 cups of the juice, put it in a pot on the stove, get it to boiling and dissolve a cup or two of sugar in it. Add it back to the first container. Add wine yeast. Put a balloon or airlock on the lid of the bottle/jar, and let it ferment. Syphon/decant it off later, after about a month, and wammo, you got wine.
Make sure to check out http://winemaking.jackkeller.net/ to find out all about making wine with juice, fruit, etc. It’s a great, informative website.
The grape juice is organic but pasteurized. I will put a balloon over the bottle after I take the cap off completely. Will it ferment into alcoholic wine in a week?
yes, if you included yeast
but it may take more than a week, usually it takes a few weeks to a month… its done when the balloon no longer is partially inflated.
i really wish you would stop asking almost the same question over and over though.
I was sick a couple weeks ago, and I had a bottle of apple juice at my desk. It was pure organic apple juice.
Just today I picked up the bottle to throw it away, and it was all puffed out – open it up and it smells like cider.
Is there a way to know if its safe to consume (i mean from other bacteria that couldve grown while it was fermenting)? Or am I safer sticking to the store bought stuff?
Im curious to see what the home made stuff tastes like!
You need to throw that away. It’s going to make you sick. If you want to make your own hard cider, find a recipe and go from there. Here is one that I have found to be fairly easy to do (the website from my source is where this came from):
"Cidermaking is easy and fun. Here is a basic recipe for a Farmhouse Style cider (ingredients for five gallons):
5 gallons of fresh pressed sweet apple juice (known today as apple cider)
5 cups of sugar
1 package of Wyeast liquid lager brewers yeast (available at homebrew supply stores)
Transfer the juice and sugar using a sanitized funnel or food grade plastic hose into a sanitized glass or stainless-steel container at room temperature. Allow the sugar to dissolve and then pitch the lager yeast and affix a fermentation lock atop the carboy It will soon begin to bubble away releasing carbon dioxide as the yeast converts the sugars into alcohol. Allow the cider to ferment and mellow for at least two months before transferring it with your sanitized food grade hose into bottles, a keg, or any vessel you prefer. Then enjoy. Any homebrew supply shop can get you started with the proper advice and equipment."
Good luck and happy drinking!!
My friend said he found an unopened bottle of grape juice under his bed and that it had fermented.
This was a month or so ago and he said he opened it outside and rinsed the driveway with the hose.
Oh please I hope he’s not trying to make wine with it! That’s totally NOT the way to do it! Tell him NOT to try open it, even a little. Bacteria in the grapes that promotes fermentation will cause gas to build inside the unopened bottle. When someone tries to unscrew the cap, even a little bit, it will literally EXPLODE off the bottle and could hurt someone very badly. This happened with a bottle of apple juice at my dad’s house. Just throw it out.
