Has anyone tried brewing or thinking of brewing super juice. apparently the home brew has been causing a splash in dry aborignial communities in northern canada.
after googling around some, I think the brew is being made with alcotek turbo yeast, on their website they claim you can homebrew 40% alc without distillation, using pure cane suger.
would be interesting formulating a recepe with DME!

Judging from the last time someone asked about a similar project, you may want to brace yourself for a huge flaming wad of angry posts directed at you.

From what I understand about yeast, that must be some super mutant strain if it can survive and keep fermenting all the way to 40% ABV. I bet it tastes like Satan's Anus, too.

Those are quite some hostile posts.

This is as close to the original article as I can find: Sybeeritic: Homebrewed "Superjuice" in Canada

I'm not sure you want to brew something that is essentially hooch and is hyped up by an uneducated news media.

If you are looking for 40% abv, save some time and just buy some vodka.

If you think it is interesting to test the limits of yeast for an interesting and hopefully tasty beverage why not try to clone Sam Adam's Utopia: Brew Your Own: The How-To Homebrew Beer Magazine - Story Index - All-Grain Brewing - 21% Alcohol All-Grain Beer

I tried using something similar, came out to about 22%, never heard of 40% stuff, anyhow, I wanted to make some liqueurs with it (i.e. peach schnapps, creme de menthe, etc...) Don't do it, the stuff is un-drinkable its sitting in wine bottles in the closet...i'm keeping it until i need the bottles at which point it will probably go down the drain.

There's a reason why most liqueurs start with a neutral tasting grain alcohol base, rather than sugar alcohol :-)

Check the OP. The term is Aboriginal, not aboriginies. Aboriginal people refers to any of the indigenous people of Canada (First Nations, Inuit, and Metis).

Many home brewing supply catalogs have turbo yeast and distillers yeast stuck in with the usual dry yeast offerings. They say to use the flavoring extracts to make your own schnaps or whatever. The end result may end up tasting like sweat sock squeezins but it is up to him. If he wants to try it...wtf?

You wanna experiment? Have at and good luck.
