Have you tried with oatmeal? I think that would do work, but am not so sure because of its relatively lower carbohydrate and more protein.

I was aiming for 10%, which is half the amount of sugar you would put, as I heard. Is that because the alcohol torelance of indigenois yeast is too weak?

Thank you so much for such a detailed and intricate response. I wasn't really expecting for the first a few days. Now I'm trying to cultivate my own batch of yeasts as you have suggested. My question is how do you tell apart the yeast that can hold higher ABV without any measuring device? I'm...

Is there a chance that the yeast can be the cause of a bad flavor and non alcohol tolerance? If so, what are the potential mistakes I need to avoid other than disinfection? Over the course of about tens of times, I tried to make fruit wine out of fruit juice (100% content without preservatives)...

Ingredients: 500g of green grape (I don't know its exact name. it looks very much like this: indian green grape - Google Search) 1 cup of white sugar What I did: 1) Take some hot water in a 1.8 liter glass jar and wait while boiling water 2) pour boiling water into it for disinfection. 3)...

From what I heard from how to make Kilju, I did some experiment with sugar, water and bread yeast. In a 1.5L bottle of store-bought low-sodium water (this is the only type I can have access now), I added a tea spoonful of bread yeast and about 300g of sugar, targeting at 10% ABV. Waited for...

Thank you, Yooper for being so nice to give my much of feedback. But what is "blank slate" in terms of water?

This is my first day and I feel like my brain was crushed up. Thank you so much. There are plenty to try!

That IS one very interesting method. I thought I would have to filter it through (after freezing), but your suggestion would save much time. Thanks to the quarantine, it's still expensive just to have any booze after all. And as for the treatment of the yeast, I have no clue. I just put them...

No. Because all of them I can find here are with preservatives. I do know what happens when there's preservatives. Nothing lol. I've been there, sadly.

I do have grapes, apples and mandarines and .. that's it. I still do have my bread yeast whose expiration date is until Aug. 2021. Is there a chance this particular baking yeast happens to be not a cut out for brewing?

Wow, that's wonderful. Sounds hopeful. What do you think my attempt with a baking yeast was wrong? I only included: water, sugar and the yeast. And the results were a softdrink-like, totally non-boozy, water. Is it that this baking yeast is just not suited for brewing? And thanks for the...

I've been making wine with wild yeast for a while. I've got no proper brewing yeast here. I do have a baking yeast. Last time when I tried it, it didn't seem to be polluted. It tasted OK and smelled OK as well, but it was almost just a lukewarm soda with fizz. If there's any alcohol, I had to...
