so. I ended up taste-testing the entire bottle. I tried to filter it with a coffee filter, but that didn't seem to filter anything. So I just drank it all. I estimate the ABV to have been around 6%-8%

I decided to take 100ml of kilju out for tasting. taste like feet. we'll find out in a bit if it gets me drunk and/or gives me the poops. Also pouring it, sounded still bit fizzy. so I'm gonna leave it for longer.

a bit over 48 hours in - its definitely getting clearer. How would I go about filtering off the yeast, as, I notice there's some settling at the bottom of the bottle, and there's a small ring near the top.

1 day in. its definitely changing colour. I think its becoming more clear too. what would happen if I drank it like this?

4 hours (or so) in: man it looks nasty. in the first hour it bubbled up a bit, made some 'head' (like in beer), but that's died down. it's just sitting there now really, doing its thing. I also think the colour is changing slowly.

alright; thanks for the tips; I'm gonna start in a few minutes

I have some good news, and some bad news. I have the yeast. but seems to be some special kind of yeast. it says I should add warm water. it came in a 4OZ jar. its called quick-rise instant yeast. so. uh. how do I do this? I assume I just add warm water then?

won't air getting in turn my kilju into vinegar? I will need some way for the bottle to off-gass without oxygen getting in, no?

alright. *claps hands*. so given the feedback, and my own google searching, what I'm going to do is... take an empty 2L bottle of pepsi. clean it out. put 1700ml of water in it. put 300ml of sugar in it. put one packet of yeast in it. I will then put a airlock top thingy on it. I will leave...

what will happen if I consume the sediment?

will filtering help, and how do I filter? (so far, only question 1 has been answered, I am still hoping for answers for my other questions)

eh, I have a broad definition of drinkable :P supposedly in finland some people let it age 24 hours! this sounds insane to me, wouldn't it still mostly just be water with sugar in it? I'm curious what the difference in taste will be; like, what kind of bad taste will it have from not being...

oh I'm fine with drinking the equivalent of silage. I'm mostly on the "ha ha, that's crazy, I can make booze? at home!? That's crazy!" stage. Supposedly, Kilju will result in an ABV of between 6%-13%. I'm going to just presume it will be 13% when I consume it so I do not over-do it. The origins...

Hello, I'm Teddy! I live in Ontario, Canada, and I've checked into the law, and it seems I can brew my own wine for my own personal use. What inspired me to try this was, in a way, comedy. I've been playing a video game where the player character has bad habits, and one of the thing you can do...
