/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Trying my second try at fermentation. I'd done it before when I was underage with some random shit I had, and 2/10 of my attempts were gag inducing failures. Interestingly, the two that worked were the only two I opted for balloons on, rather than airlock (I think sanitation was the issue). I've read up on things since then and have money for real equipment in the future, so I'm giving things another shake.

I know this is max cheap ass (I even used distillers yeast and nutrient to ensure that it worked), but this is more of proof of concept for me. Even if it's shit I'm fine with losing ~10 bucks. I was just too chickenshit to jump right in. Thinking of trying a brew kit with an extract recipe next.

Plastic is ok for aging? Not that I care much about quality for this batch I was more concerned with plastic leeching.

Pressure wouldn't be a concern with bottling the wine then? Good to know; I want to make fruit wines but I didn't want to shell out for proper wine glasses when beer bottles are so plentiful.
