Homeade "Minute Wine" Questions

[Yooper]

In case I wasn't clear, bragging about fermenting in a dorm room probably indicates that you're underaged. Those commiserating and saying "me too" will also find themselves looking for a new forum.

Let me put it this way- if you're smart enough to subtract 21 from 2010, and don't act like an underaged kid, you'll probably fit in just fine. But once you start acting like someone who's underaged or suggest that you may be underaged, you won't be welcome here.

This is lame. Thanks for everyone who did offer real suggestions. How do you delete your account? Could a moderator do it for me please? BTW I'm 18 so there.

You bet! I'll be glad to.

And I'm so glad you added the "so there". That is a beautiful and mature way to show your appreciation for making fermentables.

See you. So there.

Best thread in days!

I drank from the fermenter by just putting a glass under the tap and pouring it. Of note, I mostly drank it in the form of Radler (mixed with coke) or speitze (mixed with sprite).

And please don't come here saying to quit or it's illegal or whatever...I know exactly what I'm doing...I appreciate the concern, but it's also not constructive in the least.

HA!
That is the funniest thing I think I've ever heard. Drinking straight outta the fermenter...no wonder you thought your beer tasted like crap, it was! It was uncarbonated and extremely green, and to make a statement like "I know exactly what I'm doing" makes me think that you are either purposely doing it wrong, or sorely mistaken. I'll say, I made a batch of cider with bakers yeast a couple months ago and thought it was good. Then I thought of how much better it would be with wine yeast, then how good of beer I could make and went straight to my LHBS and got what I needed.
And a big LOL to jbrookeiv with the 'spike' link.

What a fun thread!

Btw, that Spike Your Juice stuff does work, and it's cheap as hell.

The times I've been to Germany, I've always heard that Beer and Coke beverage coined "Kinder Bier" or Children's Beer. I'm just sayin'

 

[hungrymonkey]

I am thinking we have been trolled.

Like I said earlier, I am glad the internet was not available in my youth. Because I would be that guy.

juice, bakers yeast, brown sugar, and a condom. Made really ****ty alchohol that you had to be very desperate to drink.

 

[MSUConrad]

Drinking straight from the fermenter? I bet that kid sh*t like a goose the next day.

 

[octo]

he should make a hemp hopped toilet wine. im sure it would be delicious. :fro:

Actually, Berliner Weiss is the real Kinder Bier. Beer+coke is called Diesel

 

[CaptainCoconut]

Where I lived they called it Colabier.

Hmm...thanks for the tip but I know the basics very well. I've been researching this online for many years and I even brewed beer successfully once with products and advice from a home brew store and some help from my mother. It's just that it's way more trouble than I want to go through(for an inferior product in my opinion) and I couldn't bring any of my equipment like my carboy and hydrometer to my dorm. I even have a bottle capper that I never used cause I didn't bottle it, just drank it. I don't really like beer too much anyway though I am part German, it makes me vomit even while really high and isn't really that potent compared to anything else. I'll save drinking a lot of beer for next time I'm in Hof, Bavaria at the Oktoberfet or the Volksfest. Good times, good memories...

Oh yeah and Everclear once gave me a chemical burn in my mouth at a party. Potent, sure, but not for me thanks.

Although you are not planning to brew beer, I have to point out that bottling it and letting it condition would've made it much more palatable.

so there.

I sense a trend here....

Wasn't one of the last people banned the "so there" person?

 

[wyzazz]

This thread is very amusing!

He may know the basics very well, but from what he has explained to us in his procedures, he doesn't practice the basics at all...

 

[CaptainCoconut]

I lived about 15-20 minutes north of Pirmasens for the past four years. It's in SW Germany between Saarbrücken and Karlsruhe. They called it Colabier pretty much everywhere else I went in Germany, too.

Yes there is no need to draw attention here. If the mod's want to send his IP that is different. But no need to draw attention to the site.

 

[CaptainCoconut]

It wouldn't exactly put the homebrewing community in a good light to be helping an obviously underaged kid make cheap alcohol illegally in his dorm to sell.

Exactly why I took the stance I did.

 

[Revvy]

Although I find this thread mildly amusing, I am confused as to why it's still open? The op admitted he is underage (which yooper caught) despite having probably changed his age on his profile.

 

[knotquiteawake]

You bet! I'll be glad to.

And I'm so glad you added the "so there". That is a beautiful and mature way to show your appreciation for making fermentables.

See you. So there.

Still open because Yooper deleted his account?

 

[hungrymonkey]

It was my understanding that VBB database, does not handle deleting accounts very well.

At least that is why the admins do not delete accounts on the other forums I frequent.

im sure theyll be out looking for a student named beginner in no time!

 

[Germelli1]

It would be pretty obvious to find him...read his profile (if any of it is actually true). Just find the kid on campus who obviously can't whipe his own ass. Possible methods to locate him would be: follow the scent of weed, listen for excesses dungeons and dragons, etc.

But seriously, he said he used his parents' money on his school account to buy large quantities of Minute Made juice and bakers yeast, attends ASU and lives on campus...I'm sure if they cared he could be found out in less than 1 hour.

 

[Jakeedaman21]

While he shouldn't have posted this on here, why all the hatred? We all have been young once. We all know the pain and extraordinary ways we used to get alcohol when we really shouldn't have. We all have stated that he was foolish for posting that, now can we move on?

I too lived in a dorm once upon a time, and have also made the infamous Welches Wine. Though I never sold it...

This thread should be closed/locked. 'Nuff Said.

 

[annasdadhockey]

now can we move on?

I hate to be the one to point this out, but the last post before yours was some 6 hours before yours. We were moving on...
