Kilju!!!!!

[randyhall]

so i'm pretty new here, but not to brewing. i have been brewing many types of wines for a few years and come here for a question. i recently made some kilju with normal bakers yeast and it turned out about 12% alcohol and once i got rid of the yeast at the bottom it tasted alright. my question is, is there a way to make it have higher alcohol content? if i say put double the amount of sugar and 2 packets of yeast would that higher it or would it just be a waste of sugar and or yeast?

My first thought would be that adding yeast would be a waste. Although, adding sugar could cause fermentation to start again and raise your alcohol content.

You don't need more yeast, you need better yeast. How much sugar did you use? Was there any sweetness left?
