Hey I figured out how to make a fermenter and air-lock during the quarantine because there was a ban on alcohol sales where I am
I used this technique 3 times already to make mead and the results were pretty great
I used water jugs which only had water in them, so I did not sanitize
Also straws ganked from restaurants fresh out of their packages I just sprayed a little bit of 70% methanol on
and chewing gum, which I chewed, to make a seal around the straws and the bottle cap, sprayed that with alcohol too before screwing it on
I actually made a video about it on youtube because I was so proud of myself, so you can check that out if you want to see the details, idk how else I could describe how I did it
From what I understand this is pretty safe the way I did it, it worked great I already drank like 3 or 4 bottles with a few people and it was quite nice
Any comments on this as to safety, etc?
I think this is actually a great hack for brewing on a budget and people without easy access to brewing supplies
