/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>290049
I tried making basically a prison wine. Open a jug of organic cider put some wine yeast in it and then an airlock on top. Putting a balloon on top for an airlock should be fine too. I was mainly experimenting with how simple you could make the process and have it palatable. It wasn't palatable, it was very very dry with little residule apple flavor. I think it was 5-6% alc. and drinkable when cut 50/50 with juice.

On a budget though I would probably just recommend getting a 5 gal bucket with a lid and putting an airlock on top. Follow a simple recipe that is mainly just apple cider and sugar and use a wine or ale yeast. Bread yeast gives a finished product that tastes like dough. I would try culturing my own yeast from raisins or apple peels before using bread yeast.
