    Could you put.a gallon of water and 2 lbs of sugar in with Montrachet red star wine yeast and still get alcohol?

    Yep. Don't know if it will be palatable, but it will certainly have alcohol.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilju

    Kilju (Finnish pronunciation: [ˈkilju]), in English also known as sugar wine, is a Finnish home-made alcoholic beverage made from sugar, yeast, and water. Its alcohol content is usually 15–17% ABV.[1]

    Kilju is considered to be a low-quality beverage that is consumed mainly for the sake of its alcohol content.

    The process is similar to that of homebrewing wine; it requires rigorous hygiene and filtering of the product. Properly made kilju is a clear, colorless liquid with no discernible taste other than that of ethanol.


    one way or another, I just think your gonna make yourself really sick.

    If you catch it at the right time before its done fermenting, its actually a funky, sweet tasting alcohol.
    Later on its just alcohol and not that good for drinking, but yes, it works.
    Mainly distillers use it as a "neutral" for flavored spirits.
