How's everything /hooch/,
So, I'm going to be doing a project that ends up with a byproduct of an alcoholic concoction of the following mixture, several times:
-.7lbs/11.2oz/313.6g Sugar
-.25gal/1qt/4cups Water
-1tbsp/3tsp Brewer's yeast (yet to decide what kind, since I do brew beer so I'm aware there's many kinds, and that its does impact taste/proof and such)
My questions are:
What is this? I know its not moonshine, cause moonshine involves adding cornmeal to the mash and distilling afterwards. Is it prison wine, basically, sans toilet?
Is this drinkable, and I mean more so is it bearable to drink? I'm sure it probably tastes like watery rubbing alcohol? I'm trying to avoid making a sketchy still to distill it and such. (Unless there is such thing as a cheap still you can buy)
How long would you expect this to ferment for? 1 week, 2, less? I kind of expect 4-7days. Thoughts?
What yeast would you suggest?
Any help you can all provide would be greatly appreciated.
