Chances are it will go bad, but you are acting like ethanol fermentation can't occur without sanitization and an airlock.

>>4675187
Actually, if you lock it tightly, expect it to explode all over your ceiling. Normal wine making uses a pipe with a syphon filled with water, but the reason is to keep fruit flies at bay. A napkin will do just fine if you wrap it tightly.
If you use a new bottle that held the drinking water recently, it is sanitized already.
A full package of baking yeast is way more than enough and once alcohol fermentation starts, it's hard for it to stop or get replaced by a different kind of fermentation.

Yes, it can go bad. No, you stand a better than good chance it will work just fine. Just make sure to buy apple JUICE, not some apple-flavored drink or the likes.

wow ..you really are stupid and know absolutley nothing about brewing or fermataion..you really need to do more research..
the reason you use an air lock is not to keep out fruit flies it is to prevent oxidation, as the CO2 gas produced by the yeast will displace the air volume in the bottle is the first couple of hours and keep atmosphere out of the bottle...
and there is not differant kinds of fermentation.
fermentation is fermentation , what you talking about is mold contamination , and that is bad . which is another reason to use an airlock...

>>4675290

This. The purpose is to allow the CO2 to escape while preventing the ingress of both oxygen and potential pathogens from outside: wild yeasts, mold, and bacteria which could grow in the wine (or beer, or mead, or whatever else you might be fermenting)

>>4675161
actually i know that, i just forgot the ingredients

>>4675161
I'm well aware it's a troll, but it's my only booze -related image beside MLP-themed cocktails, and the conversation was relavent.

>>4675210

>>4675187
No, I'm acting like the ethanol created will get eaten up and shat out as acetic acid and/or bitter compounds by other microbes that infect the brew because there's no proper airlock.

Then save the image in >>4675161 and delete the image in >>4674941 and never post it again.

>Actually, if you lock it tightly, expect it to explode all over your ceiling.

I did that once.
I inwittingly used a corked wine bottle during my first experiment and came home to a very strong stench of fermented tropical fruit juice mix and a ceiling covered in muck.
I can still recall that smell 15 years later.
I later hid a corked bottle just like it in my school as a prank. It worked extremely well but in the end I felt bad for the janitor because he was a really cool guy.

how about this image?

It also has a link to his blog with more detailed instructions, but lets assume the average person will try to go off the image along

OP.....For another cheap buzz try some Skeeter Pee.

Look at any of the New Orleans Best Cocktails videos. These are fantastic by someone who really knows his stuff, and is just doing good, quality drinks without fluff. He explains simply and clearly what he's doing and why as well.

Aside from the lack of sanitation. The yeast cannot eat the table sugar as is. It is a disaccharide you would have to boil the shit out of it.
Also just don't follow that shit.

>>4676518
I started this one up earlier, so far the yeast seems to be working away.

The balloons I had ripped when I tried stretching them over the lid of the bottle, so I used one of those rubber gloves you get in 20-packs, so the airlock can give me a high-5

>>4675161
I did it the proper way and it ended up tasting like vinegar. Fuck me.
But it still has alcohol and doesn't make me sick!

>>4678774
I already did last summer and it was actually surprisingly not-deathly. It did taste yeasty and vinegary, but it got me and three friends very drunk twice so I really don't care.

Man, this thread derailed COMPLETELY (except for this >>4676712 kind Anon!). Just goes to show: images make or break your thread, lol.

>>4679145
>It didn't kill me so it's safe!

of course, people aho actually died from such poor practice will never brag over the net after all.

>>4680346
derailed ???
it never made it out of the station

>>4678774
Retarded. Home brewers routinely bottle prime with table sugar. Yeast have no trouble breaking down dissacharide.

>>4675290
Also retarded. Cling wrap and presumably reasonably thick napkins covering fermenters works fine unless you live in a sewerage plant.

These people's cider is probably shit because bread yeast is designed to ferment fast for CO2, not cleanly for taste, poor temperature control and that they're not used to DRY AS FUCK cider.

stupid fucker...
read the his post and what was written in response ..then go choke yourself with a fork for being an under educated nigger who talks shit ,just to hear his own voice

If it tasted yeasty and vinegary you fucked up

>>4681980
>I ACTUALLY BELIEVE YEAST CAN'T FERMENT SUCROSE

>>4675290
While fermenting it puts out enough CO2 to keep oxygen away. Once it's done it will be saturated with dissolved CO2 anyway.

You'll only oxidize your alcohol if you splash it around everywhere while bottling. Fermentors don't need to be hermetically sealed, just filtered to keep out bugs.

wow ..just fucking wow.....

you really should be sterilized , you're just an embarressment and should not be allowed to reproduce..
